For what it's worth, here's my cherry picker in action.....the pic is a little dark but I've had no issues with it at all. Pulling that big ass 352FE/cruiseomatic outa my truck will put it to the test, I guess....

Maybe it's just me, but I kind of like the carpenters dradel, and the whale knife..

For any of you that decide to replace the pump on one of these, try to get a double action pump. They move fluid on both the down and up stroke..............we geezers need to conserve energy wherever possible..........Last edited by Bob Parmenter; 10-03-2012 at 06:08 AM.

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

bought mine at tractor supply. the folding legs i like. i hate having one setting around taking up the room of a car. had it for several years so no problem except the pumps are really cheap and slow. but most are.
by the way , the pins dont line up until the extra wheels clear the floor. reason you have to lift it a little.
been my experience the only thing at hf worth carrring out the door is the cash register .....

I have a cheapie folding leg hoist, can't say it's the same model, but odds are good. I managed to tweak it some years back, snatching the engine and trans out of a crumpled dodge, but never any trouble out of the cylinder.

Mine is an old HF from 10 years ago or so. Bought it used from a closed down marine service. Cylinder is getting weak and using fluid, but it still works fine. I don't think they make the model anymore, but they did for a long time.You don't know what you've got til it's gone

In our neighborhood, 2 blocks down the hill was a gas station that (to me) all the cool car guys hung out there. 32 coupes, 33 & 34 Fords as well, a sweet 56 Ford Beach wagon that was setup gasser...
