Re: Messing around in the shop
Everytime I go looking for a tool these day it is just like Christmas . I find tools I forgot I had . Like Gerry , two sets of tools , and home care tools and all of that in the shop . Some have not been used in ten years .

Re: Messing around in the shop
@DavidBarkey I don’t have any experience with Ford GT’s but the loader looks to be well built. Hopefully the list of repairs are all easy!
I know a few of you guys have really nice lifts. The older I get and the more my knees hurt from kneeling on concrete the more jealous I get!

Re: Messing around in the shop
It is a 70s unit built by Jacobsen for Ford . Round tube frame GT. Stout hydro rear axle . The loader was manufactured to bolt on and sold as a "Factory option " The lift is no longer a luxury but a necessity to keep working along with heated shop in the winter . The cost of a used lift is more economical than not being able to work anymore . I highly recommend guys look into it . I can only lift 48" due to ceiling height , but that is more than enough for most my needs .JSinMO wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2024 11:22 pm @DavidBarkey I don’t have any experience with Ford GT’s but the loader looks to be well built.

Re: Messing around in the shop
With a fan from a range hood you could drive the GT and cook at the same time.
Pretty good substitution for the replacement Dave, that's a clever idea!
