my wife works well...i can tell her to keep lifting till the glue drys and i can go and enjoy a movie without any interruptions
We have many in the group and all love them. Well constructed in the US and comes with the wheel kit and drill attachment!

Yes I have been using two empty keg shells and a 2x4 board when I need the rear end lifted up but that is in the way most of the time. I have been trying to get it in the air so its easier to work on as well as a nice place to store it in the summer so the lugs dont bend over. Sled Solutions, how stable is that stand with a 153 track sled on it? Thats the stand I have been looking at
I've personally only had my 144" on mine but it's stable enough that I can wheel it around the garage.
copy'd a mar-lift, works quite well
Harbor freight 1200# lift under 500 bux. Best pic I have for now.
I like that harbor freight lift...did it come with the platform and all?
I added the aluminum extensions. I made those but they sell some for 200 bux if you cant make them.
I found a motorcylce/ atv lift on CO Springs craigslist for $300. It's the best money i ever spent, just plug it in to the air compressor, press the foot pedal and up it goes. I see them on there from time to time for pretty cheap.

I have a handy air lift table.

Best $2K I have ever spent. They have smaller ones for around $1K if you are only doing sleds, but I got the 1500lb "BOB" lift with side extensions and ramp so I can lift my JD 2210.
It is SO nice to work on clutches and suspension at chest level. Plus it makes a good work table if you are space limited.
My back thanks me every day I work on the sled!

Build your own. I spent about a $100 last week on the supplies for this one and it turned out great. You can use a drill or the jack handle to lift it. I used all 1x2 instead of the 1 x 1 1/2 the plans called for. Really easy to make and can be done in a couple hours. Let me know if you need pictures or anything. The plans came off Totally Yamaha in their tech section.

^^The one I have. Super strong and I really like the diamond tread deck on it, keeps tools and parts from rolling off it. Use it for lawn mower, wheelers, sleds, welding table, paint table, extra work bench, etc. etc. Best $$ I ever spent, my back appreciates it!!!! Been in use for 6 yrs and no probs.
