??? Having said for years to people , " Don 't have back surgery " . I got forced into my 5th in June . SO far this one is working . They pulled nerves out that were getting pinched between vertebrates & replaced a disc . I was finally to the point that it was all pain all the time . There was a added bonus to this surgery , I had a heart attack that nite & after months of telling my Dr's what was going on with me they finally said oh yea , so there was something wrong .? Now we know whats been going on with my heart so added bonus . I still can't walk more than 20-30 ' at a time so that's next to dissect .So a? bit of preaching here if yer Doc don't listen get another . Stress test don't tell or find everything . I had a heart attach a month after my last heart attack . Be your own advocate !!!

??? now back to our previous channel . I'll have to look into the specs for my concrete . The most I would be lifting with the HF crane is a chuck for either lathe or my 10" rotary table , so I'm a good hunk under 100 lbs . I've had a engine hoist for many years & it's has been used more for other things more than lifting engines . I like the fact that it will collapse , I also have one of those HF hydraulic carts , best 100 bucks I ever spent , although it came into my life much later that it should have . It goes high enough & then some that I can slide stuff from the tailgate of the truck right onto the cart . Unfortunately It has had my Enco /Rong FU mill sitting on it for the last 3 years . I do have to say that if yer ever planing on buying one of these carts the 1000 lb unit has much heavier casters than the 500 lb one has,? as told to me by a guy that has the 500 lb cart . Looks like their $ 120.00 difference between the two . I do not know if the cart goes high enough to where I could slide a chuck on to the bed of either lathe , I don't think it does . I know it would work for the rotary table to the mill but then it's something on the floor in my machine room & I really don't want that . I may just end up making a track from Unistrut , but if I want to use the electric hoist I won't be able to reach all 3 machines with it . Decisions, decisions .

??? Another thing for a back saver is if ya have the room a motorcycle lift , it can't be beat . I use mine for a portable work bench , Generator repair , snow blower repair & anything else that I can get onto the table . I still haven't had either motorcycle on it but there's always something on it being worked on . I have a pallet rack on one side of my shop & I can slide the lift under the rack when not in use , though that hasn't happened but once in 5 years . I tore apart a hospital bed up at out local hospital & I think one of the shorter lift assemblies may find it's way to the motorcycle lift . Anyone know where I can get a small like 1 1/2 " load cell Cheap so I can figure out the lifting force of the lift jack ? I'f I had paid attention more in school I could probably figure it out but that boat sailed a log time ago .

end of ramble
