I don't know why none of the comments I made on the pics showed up but they didn't. Anybody got any ideas on that ????
That said, I plan to fabricate a set of removable legs and get them put on it over the next couple of weeks to get it self supporting instead of setting on the forks of my lift. Too, come warm weather, I want to get it sand blasted and painted since it will probably spend most of it's life outside and out of the way until needed.
When that time comes though I've got splined drive sockets that will handle from a 13/16 hex to a 4" hex so I ought to be able to do about 9 percent of the cylinders on any of my current customers machines. If I can come up with the funds to upgrade to a different multiplier, still with a 1 1/2 square drive but with a 7500 lb output, there will be very few 'normal' sized cylinders I can't do except for the ones with the 'special" rod nuts that aren't hex shaped.
For now though it did what I need for it to do and allowed me to get my customers machine back in service. That's more important to me than it being rusty, and any future engineering nightmares will simply be but another challenge to overcome. But hey, it was built out of stuff I had laying around and about $20 worth of material I picked up at the local scrap yard and that's a marvell of creative engineering in itself....LOL.

Today's Featured Article - When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
