Bought one today. I have an upcoming resto on my great grandfathers factory ordered 1949 Ford F1 pick up.

It was on sale for 900 bucks. This is the unit...

The only down side so far is the operators/parts list that came with it is so faded, you can't really read it. I'm sure i can wing it, but it's kind of nice to have the box candy it came with.

As for the unit itself. It looks to be real well built for a chinese build. I figured if i built it myself, would have taken 500 bucks in metal, 1 day of running around, and at least 1.5 of putting it together. So for the 900 bucks, i say it was well worth it.

Pics of the unit and the resto coming*

[/IMG]They sell a similar one( might even be the same manufacturer) up here in Canada at KMS from $900-1300, depending o the sale. I bought it for y 72 Satellite. It works very well, and has a hand crank for rotating the body. But the instructions were a poor translation from Chinese to drunken sailer and they went through the wash before sending them out to the buyer...o ya, they weren't really for the model of rotisserie purchased! LOL! but not too hard to figure out!

Hell yeah, buddy. Small world. I'm in victoria. I picked mine up at KMS as well. They're the superhoist dealer. Glad to know you like yours. I'm looking forward to getting to use it!

Just make sure you balance it real well (adjust center of gravity) or it's real hard to crank over. I got mine for 1050., when I tried to get it cheaper, they refused, say that was the lowest it goes! O well. P.S., once the vehicle's mounted to your liking, if sand blasting it might be wise to remove the hydraulic jacks, to keep **** out of the cylinders.I also had to custom make the front and rear mounts for my car, but it was simple to fab something up

Wow, your pooch sure looks JUST like mine laying there. Mine is always right by me when I am in the garage too. She is a 9 year old Golden. How old is yours. He/She looks to be about the same age with the graying around the face. They are such good dogs.............

Yep, he's just about the same age as my Sandi. I just can't believe how much he looks like her. The pose, the eyes, the hair, etc.

I but one years ago for a 77 bronco I restored and sold it. Built another one last year and swear I will never get rid of it again.

Here's a pic of the old one. It was very well built, but didn't have the hyd. rams to raise and lower like the ones you guys bought. I would employ the help of three friends and raise and lower which was not really too often. Moopa is right about the blasting. Definitely remove the jacks if you plan on having it media blasted.

I have a similar style Rotisserie from Northern Tool. It also has a crank. I was wondering about finding the center of balance with the crank. Am I to understand the difficulty of turning it with the crank is the key to adjusting the center of balance? It will take some trial and error to get it right... Without the crank, you would just try to rotate it manually - correct? Thanks!
