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.
