new addition to the garage

[thrstrmech]

new to me addition to the garage, an early birthday gift the label on it is kinda worn making it hard to tell who made it. it's not a harbor freight one, but close. had to clean it up a bit before wheeling it into the garage. only issue are the pins that hold the ramp, which broke off due to rust.

Nice! Crash has been looking for one as well. Looks good! And does the bike. =]

thanks, Craigslist $200 have him keep looking, they're out there. my wife found it while I was at work and called the guy about it. his ad was for $225, but he said $200 was his rock bottom price.

Looks great. Planning on finding one of those after I finish redoing my garage. I'll probably just end up with one from HF. Last year I made a nice project table out of 2x6s with some caster wheels, tiles on top and a bunch of tie down points. It's great for working on bikes, but it's heavy as can be and I feel like I'll probably just put it on craigslist till I'm done with the garage, and look for one of these after.

that would sure help my old back! I'm 29 but my back is at least 50. Congrats a real score!

thanks, the previous owner modified the wheel vise after looking at the pics of both companies that make the lift. in the first pic you can see the original vise jaw on the left side and the "L-shape" has been welded on.
the jaws are too close together and extended out as far as it will go, which the tire barely fits between them. going to take it to work, cut the welds and reposition the jaws to be welded again.
