WOW, everything does look like mine with the exception of what appears to be an extension above the top of the post. Mine has a data plate attached to one of the posts. I'm not sure i've seen a clear floor from Weaver.

My AFH-88 has "reservoir" attached with 3 clips at top. Without seeing a pic or 2, can't tell on yours. Wondering if you have clips at top, screw on, or....

What don't I understand? The fact that "Weaver" started manufacturing jacks and jack stands in 1910, progressed to manufacturing in ground lifts, then onto 2 post (AFH 2 poster) lifts until they we're bought out by Rotary in 1989 and subsequently discontinued. Derek Weaver was born in 1962...

Here's my Weaver rebuild thread: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=284721

WRONG! Weaver lifts was around until late 80's when they we're bought out by Rotary! I too have an older Weaver AFH lift! As for the question on topping off the fluid, mine has 3 clips at top of plastic "container" that clips the fluid container onto the pump housing. Hold onto bottom of...

The weavers are a self bleeding system. I fully raised and lowered mine a couple times. Look here for the Weaver seal kits: http://www.parts4lifts.com/store/page26.html I also have a weaver cylinder identification document. Also have an installation/owners manual for AFH72 & AWH72 in pdf.

Not built like mine. Only comparable lift being built today is a Mohawk. Not going to come close to getting a new Mohawk for $3200

It all comes down to personal preference and function of the space. Mine is 40 w x 32 deep with 12 foot walls. I did 3 - 9x8 doors. Mine is setup such that it will never have more then 3 cars (one bay eventually will have a 4 post lift for double parking, etc... Center bay has 2 post lift...

Try Panzitta Sales: http://panzittasales.com

Panzitta Sales has a lot of lift diagrams and parts. In fact here's the link for Bear lifts: http://panzittasales.com/parts/lifts/bear-lifts/

Seems I may have the similar vehicles to use as reference, however, a 2 post not 4. One other difference is my 12'ceilings. I have 07 Mustangs and just purchased a 2006 F-150 supercab 4x4 that looks to come in at ~5400 lbs. I'll put it on my 1987 Weaver 2 post 7k lift in a day or 2 and report...

Bell5879 I've tried sending e-mail, however, I keep getting e-mail errors?

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to locate an owners manual for the AFH-88, however, I do have manuals for a couple of similar style weavers. Send me a p.m. with your e-mail address and I'll send them to you. As for width of the posts, easiest way is to use the width of the trough. This will sit...

Some of it looks like a Weaver 2 poster, however, haven't seen anything to suggest Weaver used cables.

These are Great lifts! I'll have to dig up my notes to see who had them for $44. I bought a block of the material. A friend works in a machine shop where he milled new ones for me. I used beam clamps to attach the conduit and outlets. The conversion to wide version is easy and we'll worth doing!
