Jack/lift stand

[oldcrow]

The old 2x4 isn't cutting it anymore to lift the back of the sled.

Anyone got some plans on building a compact/lightwieght stand.

do a google search for "sled lift". Piles of plans will pop up. super easy to build. Takes about $40 in steel.

If you are lazy, they have one in CAL Ranch for about $65 that looks like it would work just fine. (It was in the Idaho Falls store yesterday, I don't now if all stores carry it).

I'm not looking at lifting the whole sled.

Warm up stand may have been a better choice of words

Yeah, a warm up stand is what they have at CAL Ranch. It has a self standing frame with a lip to hold the rear bumper and a handle on the other side to move it around.

Can't really check it out, I'm in MN

I guess that won't help much then. It looks pretty much like this one though.

I'm not sure if L&M would have them, i imagine they would.

couple feet of one inch square tubing, 6 inch piece of "C" channel for the lip to hold your bumper... took about an hour to build mine. dont have pics but was easy, also took a piece of sheet tin and screws to make the back plate...

So for those of us without skills (can't weld) is there anyone that makes a reasonably priced warm up stand that is tall enough to get a 162" M series tail high enough in the air so the track doesn't drag on the ground? Been looking for several years and still haven't found what I want.

This is a good topic! Does anyone have pics of their home made stands? I've got some tubing in the shop and think it would be cool to build one!! Anyone? thanks

Find a old bumper jack and weld a piece of angle iron to it, works great.
