I think that is his point, he doesn't feel safe working under them. As for not taking much to push the whole thing over, I've pushed whole cars over with little effort in the junk yards with no lift in sight. So yeah, it wouldn't take much to push the AMX over.

They sell adaptors which will allow you to use the cable tach drive to generate a signal for your electrical tach if that is what you have, or I did a quick search to find this http://www.egauges.com/ATM_Tips.asp?TipPage=green_wire.htm and scrolled to the bottom. You may need a tach made for a...

Do they use a relay, or does one leg pass directly thorugh the switch? I would suspect the probelm you are describing is a deteriorated point contact either in a contactor or in the actual switch you use to raise the lift. I've seen brand new switched (which were underrated) act just as you...

There are lots of reasons why people are still using points for ignition systems other than being narrow minded or incapable dealing with modern ignitions. Car collectors are one of the first people who come to mind, but there are plenty of old iron on the road which is easy to maintain and...

One of the things I do understand, it that the flat rate incorporates the cost/overhead above and beyond a technician's compensation. It covers the sallery of the service writer, the cashier behinde the counter, building, equipment, everyone's benefits, etc. Maybe a guy can do a brake job in 45...

I would say between 11' and 12' from outside edge of the column to the other outside edge.

I would say all of the lifts out there work. Cars falling off lifts are typically due to user error. Some are more reliable and user friendly. I'm sure GS can give you a reference list of people who are happy with his lift.

I'm betting a 1974 or 5 CB550k. Maroon in color?

I used work in a bay at a garage with that same lift manufacturer, back in 1992 or so. It's one of the better ones I've come accross. Enjoy!

I'm not trying to sell anyone a lift. I've had my share of exposure with different types of lifts in all types of settings. As long are you are not using a bottom of the barrel trans jack, the wheels should be large enough to roll over the step of this lift without issue. If you are...

The BB casters have a reverse design with the stationary part on the column, but I'm sure you could make something work. Here is what BB offers:

If the ramps do not have gussets, you can turn them 180 degrees and keep them on the deck of the lift. That is what I have recommended to others with a lift similar to yours.

Yes, you probably can get one for that. The one particular one I referenced is better quality and worth the extra money- but I'm only speaking from my experience. As for the trip hazzard, I think you're over analyzing things an probably already have your mind made up that the clear floor it...

From seeing hydraulic rams on plow trucks, I think the idea behind fully exgtending and lowering a unit it to lubricate the ram. If rams are left extended, there is greater chance of them drying out, pitting and rusting causing them top snag or rip the seal. Excercising them keeps things...

You could do that, but it would probably be more work than its worth IMHO. I've handled several of the entry level lifts from Eagle, Bend Pak, Greg Smith's Atlas et al, and Complete Hydraulic. I feel this is probably the best lift for that application...

Globe is one of the original lift companies. Most shops you go into that still have an old single post inground lift that works will be a Globe lift. They started out in PA and have been aquired a few times over the years, but they are a good quality lift. Globe is still in business, but I...

Just to offer a second perspective on this, the invisible fence can be very helpful, but it doesn't keep other animals out. I have about 1.25 acre near some wooded areas. On occasion a ground hog moves in under my shed. Recently a fox followed him inside my fenced in lot and I let the two...

Very cool man! I've got two myself. Both a female and very loyal. Best of luck getting through the next 6-9 months :)

Mine has the same release, but I still found it very difficult to move the track machine in the store. As mentioned later, it isn't exactly freewheeling. I've owned my unit a few years now and have had enough deep storms to realize I got exactally what I needed.

I've got a Honda 928 blower Hydrostatic drive without the tracks. I went with the wheels because I did not like the fact that you must start the snowblower to move it with the tracks. Since 95% of the time the things sits, I like to be able to tuck it out of the way. I thought the tracks made...
