You can see it at

I may have gotten my from Northern Tool, but I don't see it on their 
Website.

It works well enough for what I used it for (as well as putting the cast 
iron pan back up on the Ford 2N engine and other similar straight 
lifts), but I don't think I would want to trust it for splitting a 
tractor. What I have used for something the size of an NAA is a regular 
rolling hydraulic jack, which works fine if the wheels are on a smooth 
surface. An inexpensive 1-ton or 1-1/2 ton jack with some wood between 
the lift point and the transmission works fine for that kind of thing.

It is only 450 lb. and has to be raised and lowered with a 1/2" wrench - 
it isn't hydraulic.
