So is mine!! I'm trying to make it last until I figure out the wiring harness on the Mustang 5.0/HO EFI/AOD I'm about to put in it. The truck is my daily driver so I have to plan it all for minimal down time. I'm excited about the change and hopefully lots better mpgs.....

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.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

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.
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

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
