Air/hydraulic.
Been in shed 10 years, he took 850 for both. Probably 15 to 20 years old. They get 1100 each for manual hydraulic new. I'm sure I'll be needing some parts
Going Tuesday to get them. 8 hrs round trip.
Taking son along as they're 350lbs each or so.

At least 350 ea. I use a floor jack and pallet to move mine. I’ll bet seals are shot as after 15 yrs. I had to replace mine 2 years ago. Easy if ya can find size.

I have an oiler/ water filter on the air line that feeds my rolling jack per spec.

I kinda wish I bought two when lift placed but one will do. If need to get all 4 wheels off I’ll get a jack tray like Frankie

Yea i figure seals are toast and maybe any hydraulic lines. Probably stop on way home at qtr car wash and knock the crud off.
I ordered 2 a couple of years, it was a company in Atlanta. They'd been around a number of years and tried to burn me. They were 6 or 700 each which is a good deal.

Guess the Eldo people took my talk to heart.. Aka nobody else called about the turd blossom. I can have for 400 now, guess scrap wasn't that much. Lol.
If it was 10 minutes away I might do them a favor and buy it.

I love going out this time of the year at night with a flashlight... Pollen snow.

So damn dry here not even funny.

Maybe Lisa will make me some pollen themed cupcakes.

Winds are gusting here this morning.. Super.

So far the Zyrtec has kept me from sneezing much, although it usually takes a few days for the pollen to really smack me down. By this weekend I'll know if it works.
