New shop started

[Sprtom]

I would be interested in that bike. What model? Year? Had a 76 WR360 several KTM after that. Great memories.

Nice shop. I wouldn't wanna get it dirty............but oh how I would. Where are you located? Anywhere Willis, Texas? My local backyard machine shop closed up. I need to find a new one.

I gave up trail bike riding growing up in the PNW way long ago. I think the straw that broke the camel's back (luckily not mine) was when I missed a tight trail turn and flew into a big old cedar stump. Thankfully, it was logged probably 80+ years earlier and it was so rotted that I buried the bike past the handle bars and launched myself over and into a bed of mossy, ferns and decaying stuff. Softest running into a wall possible. My buddy took a few minutes to circle back and find me and then only asked where is the bike? I pointed and he squinted looking around. Pretty funny when he finally found it.

Well cared for, just a few things w bike, it will make someone happy. Someone strong that is. Kicking this beast is fun. It is left side kick to rear. Swedes must have a strong left leg! I made the left foot peg removable with a C clip so you're inside ankle doesn't get brutalized when kicking.

Runs great, Will link a video once it loads
As far as selling, this would be local only, wasn't planning on moving it till spring as I still have a soft spot for it(like a bruise!)
Rhode Island area

Ok let's see if this works

Lifts delivered today. 52,000lb capacity (13k per column), 4 full height jack stands and attachment to frame lift from ends of vehicle(only using 2 columns to lift in that case). Lifts stand about 8' tall for perspective. Not lifting tractor to max height, just trying them out. Training tomorrow

As simple as they seem, the jack stands rock. Perspective is poor in the pic. In the extended position, as I am showing-that is about 7' off floor. Spring operated lifts at wheels(once u put weight on it settles to floor, springing up to roll easy once weight is off). Also spring assisted center column so u don't have to lift center column to position. You can set height with 2 fingers, threaded caps at end for fine adjustments.

I look at those auto/truck/tractor lifts and just go oh my.... :dance1:
What a great way to work under your equipment. Safely too, though I think I'd check everything six times before
I walked under something that heavy.

I was a bit paranoid when I first started using my hoist. But I pay no attention to that now. Mine is a 4 post drive-on. I think it's considerably safer than a 2 post with arms.

When was the last time you heard of someone being injured or killed by a falling hoist?

Can you tell me a little bit more about those vertical lift Doors you have. I have never seen any quite like that. Did you custom bend the radius in the track yourself or did you order it that way?

Lifts are by lift master
Doors are 18x10
Track was installed as per my design. I know when they had to correct the erroneous initial installation they had to wait for more track. I'm not sure if the bend was custom or they had something that was close. Bend is about 45deg
