Dave,

Saw that hoist on Harbor Freight. Guess my doctor would still let me push a button!
What is that hydraulic hoist you use? Brand? Where to buy? Cost?

thanks.

I bought my hydraulic hoist several years ago at Northern Tool to pull car engines (another hobby). Harbor freight also has them. Today they start at around $200. Mine is a notch up from the bottom $$ because the extended legs fold almost straight up for storage (then put the hoist beam down and it doesn’t take up much room), and there is another pair of casters so it can still be wheeled around when the legs are up. Both Northern Tool and Harbor Freight have retail stores within 40 miles of me, so I didn’t have to pay shipping. Note that Harbor Freight ads in many magazines always have a 25% off one item coupon good online or in a store. For online searches at these places, search for "engine hoist".
