Well done 🤘

I know if Dennis lived closed he'd be happy to help, altho I'd be Leary with anything even resembling a 2X4 🤣

Yes, I’m sure.. he would , and several others if they were close.. it’s just a matter of me doing things when I have the time.. difficult to plan ahead... but if he did, I would just hide the 2x4 s .😊

Tough job to do alone for sure but good thing you got the tractor. I set up a couple lifts at the shop I used to work at but had several people to help.

[Dtret]

I would have been more than happy to help. But I got caught up in a minor project of my own. And it’s been kicking my assets for almost two days. Lol. 

[cny first gen 71]

Again I'll say it at least you got the tractor to help Dennis I had to unload 3 yards of top soil out of the back of my truck and spread it all by shovel. Of course that's before I messed up my back.

No time for this. Lol. The tractor actually doesn’t have enough ars to move it. I do have movement as of 5 minutes ago. I’m thinking of hooking up the battery truck

10 minutes ago. I win. Lol

Agreed there Mark!!!

 

I might be as dense as Dennis's 2x4 but Dennis look what you did to that $100K driveway!!!  Should of left it.  It was probably a mile away from the house anyway.    Why? Why? Why?

[willie]

I know maybe Karen has some funny ideas???   Have you been good to her lately, you better take her out to dinner or maybe dancing, or something Dennis!!!

Trust me I thought about it. Easy accessibility to a few sticks but I didn’t want to blow up the new driveway. No I couldn’t mow around there. The guy that excavated the driveway cut the hill down about two feet and it looked like crap.

 O she just shakes her head and goes back in the house. She cooks me dinner. We rarely go out to eat.

All done Tuesday. With about 10 little other projects done too. I’m actually glad I get to go to work and relax. Lol.

So, now that I’m back to work, seems Friday midday and Saturday mornings are about all I have time for to work on the car lift. Saturday was sc—-we’d cause I had the sick bull I had to load myself and take to vet. My wife could see visions of him killing me right on the spot. So I hollered and told her I forgot to pay my life insurance:). Then she decided to help. 😄 . Nah , she would just have gotten hurt. 
anyway. Back to the car lift. Got the bolt holes 🕳️ drilled finally and bolts installed using bolts ordered specifically for a car truck lift up to 20,000 lbs… also used epoxy as recommended for installing .. started installing the lift arms with tractor. 
Hey Willi , you could have borrowed my tractor to install your lift, just come and get it 😂…

Ron, I'll assume the wife also has a policy on your butt, just saying 🤣

[willie]

LOL   Cant have too much insurance for sure...

Ron thanks for the offer, i might take you up on that someday!!! lol

Things you can do with a 2 post lift....

I'm considering changing the tires due to age, and didn't feel like buying a scissors lift to get this thing in the air. I have the rolling dollies for the sport bike that lifts by the swing arm and the other one that hooks into the bottom of the front forks, but they won't work on this machine.

The dealer wants about $200 to do it if the bike is dropped off there. I think this will work just fine...

[cny first gen 71]

Looks like it'll work,  be careful!

That was just a test to see how it would work. I may not even do it this year.

[willie]

I don't know Joe, those tires look fine!!!!!  lol
