Old Man Helper.

Hi fellas,
After losing both upper bicep muscle attachments and having both rotator cuffs repaired I'm not the man I used to be, so when I needed to pull my 8 3/4 pig I whipped this up:

60" of 1 1/2"X 3/16" angle iron and an afternoon.

20 years ago I started using a floor jack to remove and install those bastids! The saddle on the jack is important if you don't want it to fall off but your rig looks very nice.

493 Mike, the ability to adapt to challenges and opposed thumbs has kept most of us out of the food chain! Your solution to accommodate your limitations has enabled you to continue working on your project when many of us would have said "I can't do that" You're still the man!

Great setup Mike, that blasted "arms over ur head" stuff gets tiring pretty quick especially when laying on ur back.
