    Some misc. stuff that i've made.

    UPS mechanic showed this ideal to me. They use it to pull transmissions out of the passanger side of the truck. Like akdiesel said...times when you can't lower or raise the boom but need to lift.

    Some misc. stuff that i've made.

    I wish I had a way of modifying it to work on cars as well as trucks but pushing a truck into the shop ball to ball beats pushing it any day.

    Some misc. stuff that i've made.

    The last is a cheap welding table I put together. Nothing fancy but it works. I used a 1 Ton wheel, drive shaft and some flat plate. attached a vice that was my grand dads and welded a hook for my slag hammer.

    Some misc. stuff that i've made.

    I kind of stole this Ideal from a buddie of mine...but I still think it's a good ideal and needed to be posted. I modified a cherry picker by putting a cheap 2000 lbs. winch on the back of it. Set the height that you want and let the wench do the work. Beats pumping up the ram.

    Some misc. stuff that i've made.

    The next thing that I made was due to having to lift the motor out of a Honda Civic to get the Alternator out. The car was on the lift and I used a lift jack with a modified pad to lift the motor. I've since added some different attachments.

    Some misc. stuff that i've made.

    The first thing that I made was out of laziness I guess. we pulled the engine out of my nephews truck to rebuild and he wanted to do stuff to it while it was out. Not wanting to store it in the shop until he felt like comming over I made this tow/push bar to move it in and out of the shop.

    Favorite Air Connector Style?

    Due to having some HF male couplings in the Industrial interchange style and some Milton I got tired of trying to match up the female with the males. I went with the Universal female and no more problems. A little more expensive then regular females but worth the time saved.
