Default Willing an able....

Hi Stuart

Already have the 2 jacks..... earlier model with hand pumps.

For the hub best bet is a single trailer hub from PA for one end.... the other end.... the end that makes it turn is best set up with a worm drive reduction gear box that can be driven by hand or with an impact wrench... they are about $175 new at PA or cheaper if you can find them at a flea market ... the larger the better and the slower the gear ratio the better....

We need to have a session in the barn to finalize the design... with some scrap steel and a flip chart to sketch our ideas.... the rest is just cut and welding.

I favor two independent end units... the driven one as a stand alone so it can be used for smaller parts.... and adjustable square tubing to adjust for length.

when is a good time...?

Bob
