Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I was thinking two 2x2 square tubes at the front and two at the back laying parallel then weld up something to attach to the end of each arm. I think the tractor weighs about 460 pounds so the 2 by 2 should be strong enough. I've seen some of these...

I have a John Deere lawn tractor that I'd like to lift on my two post car lift. Does anybody know where I can find plans/ideas to build something to attach to my lift that will accommodate my lawn tractor. Thanks

Thanks for all the nice words! It's been a long expensive journey. Probably spent more than I should have but a nice looking building should jack up the property value more than an industrial looking shop. Because there isn't much in the way of cars, benches, insulation in the walls and...

???? is what loud?

Flickr seems to work fine but which do you choose to post pics? Share, embed or BBcode? Thanks.

Thanks! I'll try it! <a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/185654368@N06/49107484063/in/dateposted-public/" title="20191022_162551"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49107484063_b4c0b4a861_c.jpg" width="800" height="450" alt="20191022_162551"></a><script...

Well I went with white steel. Looks great! I don't have a web site to post pics since I gave photobucket the axe. Sooooo.

Well I have to think about cost. I'm already 15,000.00 over budget and still have to do electrical, insulate and cover walls.

1/2 inch Plywood sheathing at 27.00 per sheet works out to .85 cents a foot. 29 gauge steel is 3.00. Where are you buying steel that cheap? Thanks

Thanks everyone for the ideas. The ceiling is done and I have yet to do the electrical and insulate the walls so I have some time to make up my mind. At the moment I'm leaning towards the plywood or OSB. I like the idea of being able to take a piece down if needed and the durability. Fire...

I have a white steel ribbed ceiling now and may have a lead on good one side plywood at the same price as 1/2 inch sheathing but I have to take a whole 60 sheet lift. I only need 45 sheets.

My walls are 2X6 studs and planning on insulation. My foundation wall is about 1 foot above floor level so no worries about welding slag getting under the sole plate. This is a nice looking building and I want the walls to look clean. Drywall will definitely be cheaper and I do want the...

My new shop is 34 wide and 37 deep with 13 foot high walls. I'm not interested in drywall due to the mudding and sanding and associated mess and was thinking of plywood or OSB. I know I'll have to prime and paint as I would with drywall but feel the plywood would be a better choice. Anybody...

Good advice, I'll try to find a better source for steel! I'll try Tractor Supply and look around before I buy. Thanks Jim

No Menards here, at least not in this part of Canada. Lowes, Homedepot and some others that I'll try thanks.

Thanks for the reply. I'm leaning toward the corrugated steel as well, thanks. Thanks for the reply. Where are you checking online pricing? I agree the steel would be the way to go but I can't find it anywhere.

My new shop is 36 ft. deep and 33 ft. wide with a 13 foot ceiling and I'm looking for ideas. The ceiling is not flat. It has a 10' 6" front wall and the ceiling rises from the wall to 13' then horizontal for 14' then down to 10' 6" at the back wall. I was originally thinking of drywall but...

Sorry for the delay. My lift points are the same as the C5. 39 inches front to back and 59 inches side to side. The only difference is I have side skirts on the ZR1 which makes the arm clearance more of an issue. Looks like I might have to drive the car up on a 2 X 12 or similar to get arm...

Yeah the 50 year shingle is in dog years. Knew that going in but they're better than the 25 year shingles that last 8 years!
