Thank you that is very helpful, but I am also looking for the measurements of the T fitting that both linkage rods attach to....on the far right side of this pic... https://www.forbbodiesonly.com/moparforum/attachments/dsc01787-jpg.1544283/

@GTXDAN, and others.....I'm working on getting my manual lock system built and was wondering if you would be willing to grab a few measurements for me off your lift. Looking for the rough dimensions of the plate the linkage rods attach to, and how far out from the cross beam it sits. Also the...

Only way I'd try and buy those is in person, and with cash....for that price I'd take a drive! But as stated most likely a scam, makes me glad I bought my cheap but old and "Needs work" 4 post last year...still working on getting it finished but I've gone through it top to bottom and cleaned...

I live in Northern Canada and when I built my shop I went with the highest R-value I could get for fiberglass in the walls which was R28 and then blow in insulation in the ceiling of R52. We get temperatures down into the -40's*C so need as much insulation as we can get. I have a small wood...

I went with T8's florescence in my shop...but each 8' fixture runs 4' bulbs so I can easily convert them to LED. I will suggest it to you but have your lighting on multiple switched circuits so you don't have to have them all on every time you're in the shop. My shop is 32x48 with a flat...

Thank you for the pics! That looks almost identical to my lift...locks, mechanisms, cover plates etc, what make and model is it? Mine had no tags or data plates on it, I was told it was a Lift King but since everything is odd ball metric I'm pretty sure it is not, plus I contacted lift king...

Finally got the 4 post lift I picked up last December cleaned, repaired, modified and assembled last week and it's going up/down! But I still need some ramps and to fabricate the safety lock release mechanism system, would appreciate some pics of the release mechanisms on your lifts to draw...

I remember the first time I tried to remove those spring clamps, I was probably 13-14yrs old and my grandfather just stood there watching me struggle with regular pliers. After a while I was so frustrated he walks over and tells me to use the proper tool for the job and hands me an old set of...

The fact you have the whole tool kit, or at least almost all of it, is great and I bet somebody would love to add that to their tool box, especially if it's for early Fords Pre-50's.

If it's in the case is there a manifacturer on it or even a part number? But as others have said it looks like a king pin reamer to me....did he work on anything specific?

I have a wood burning stove in my shop and it does well but while it was made to heat an area equivalent to the square footage of my shop, those numbers are based on a 8' ceiling...my shop is 14' so almost double the volume to heat. So on really really cold days I have to supplement with a...

So many things on vehicles should always be replaced in pairs...now even the mechanism used to service these vehicles as well....;)

I was lucky and inherited from my grandfather his old craftsman 3/4" drive socket set that range in 1/16" increments from 1" up to 2"....damn handy thing to have! But like everyone else I have a bunch of one time only tools...price you have to pay for the tool is generally a lot less then the...

Do you have a link to the ones you mentioned? Curious to what they look like and how they might work as an upgrade in my shop.

I had my shop drywalled for the same reason @Stanton mentioned about the rough surface of the OSB or plywood. Yes it's not quite as durable, but easy to repair and repaint, white on the ceiling and a light tan on the walls. As for lighting I went with 12 - T8 8' fluorescent lights, 3 rows of...

I have an old sears craftsman oil bath compressor from the 50's? It leaks air from rust holes in the 20 gal tank but it builds air fast and will do 120 psi in under 2 min. I have an oil less compressor I bought many years ago with a 40 gal tank and I hate that thing...takes forever to build...

Took me a few seconds to puzzle out how it worked exactly since it was upside down relevant to how it would be used....but very clever...well done!!

Is this as close as you are allowed to get to the construction for pics...:rofl:

My 2 post lift is slightly over 12' from the rear door, but it's at the back of my 48' shop so I have the option of either driving or back the vehicle in depending on the length of the vehicle. My 84 W350 Cummins crewcab is 23+ feet long, and 7K lbs, and I have to drive in nose first so I have...

Looking good! You guys who live in warm southern climates sure seem to get the easier builds on your shops...Pole barns are much cheaper to put up then ones with full deep foundations and having to worry about excessive snow loads on the roof...But then I'd have to live where it's hot...and I...
