> The time has come to add a new piece of shop equip. The only lifting mechanism in the farm shop here is a generic engine hoist. I need to pull the engine out of my small Deere combine so after much deliberation I have decided to install a gantry hoist. I bought a Harbor Freight 1 ton hoist and am in the process of replacing the top I-beam with a larger and longer one. When done it will span the width of the shop. It's on wheels so I can keep it in the back and then roll it to the front for projects. I had a engineer friend run analysis on the "conversion" and it will safely hold 1,000 lbs (about the weight of the engine).
