I'll try to get some better pics tomorrow. To protect the end of the ram I welded a pc of 3/8" thick stock on a pipe nipple that was slightly larger inside diameter than the end of the ram. It is just slipped over it.

I built this a while ago, and remembered this thread. Axle holding fixture, attached to my transmission jack. Allows me to attach it to the axle in the vehicle, disconnect from the chassis and remove. All work can be done on the axle, while being able to raise , lower, and spin it around. It's adjustable for different widths, also for front axles.

Looks like a little muscle man

My wife asked me how could we move her 69 Mustang Convert done quicker. I said we were still working on the rotissorie plans. She asked what I wanted for my birthday.....

That is really slick! I too am interested in seeing more pics of your hoist/press.

The legs had to be repositioned in the bottom frame so the cylinder would be in the same plane. Then I made a cross piece and fastened it to the inside of the legs above the cylinder (ram). this gives me about 12" of stroke.

I didn't catch the repositioned legs at the base the first time.
Well another thing for my to do list...

Good idea, thanks!

wish i could find my hardtop wrench to get a pic of.

i couldn't reach the nuts under the side rails up front, so i cut a 1/2" wrench in half and welded the ends in a foot long piece of tubing. had a wrench about 16" long.
