I have been reading the lift queries with great intrest as the mongral 9N I recently purchased has more than a few problems in that area. My lift seemed fine until my son decided he would attempt to pull steel fence posts with it. Now it is like me "very weak". My question is not what happened (the great info here will lead me to the problem and fix), but would a properly operating lift pull a driven steel post? or is that type of job abuse for these things?
Thanks for any insite

I bought some land last Oct and there was an old cross fence in it. About 2200 feet of it. I used my '48 8N to pull all the posts when tearing this fence down. Most of them were the metal but, if I remember correctly, about 15 or so were 6 inch wood. I kind of "rocked" them around alittle and waited until after a good rain hoping it would soften the ground some and no problems.

I have read posts indicating the N lifts are capable of lifting 700-800 pound loads. Personally, I use my 8N to pull steel T posts and wooden posts up tp 6" all the time with no trouble. I always rock the posts back and forth a little before I tie the chain onto them. Just use a lot of care. Someone will probably answer you with a post with accurate load limits. Sounds like your lift just needs some maintenance time. HTH
