i wouldnt rig to the top cross beam. id do like another said and lower the boat by removing the wheels or flattening the tires. then use the lift arms to lift the motor out. eve if you have to build some cribbing on the lift arms, you will be better off.

purples for everything. used to switch between greens and red for aluminum and steel but got talked into trying the purples last time i was buying consumables.

i wanted to do this in my shop but was told by an engineer and rotary not to as the lifts are designed to move slightly and the walls are not. if you ever have a failure your insurance may not like the fact that you modified the lift and installed it against manufacturer recommendations. my...

a 220 feed and the correct plug

i dont like the grey. reminds me of the harbor fright grey

a chrome 12pt socket on a rusted caliper bolt?!? and im assuming a pretty big breaker bar or and impact. should have had an impact 6pt on it. i find tools only break when they are misused.

yes, it was lifted wrong. yes, the rust is why it broke in half. had it been lifted correctly it may not have failed. that could have been good or bad though.

your rear arm was too far forward. you have to extend the foot up to deal with the curved frame. front arm foot flat, rear arm foot lifted the same amount the frame bends.

i dont like lifting the actual leaf spring. i put the rear arm in the crotch between the frame and the front leaf spring mount. i also have a rotary with flip up feet. i try to flip the feet in opposite directions just so that if something drastic enough were to happen to cause the car to move...

can see the main tube is bending in that pic with the mower only half off the ground
