Making a Mower Lift

I really liked the EZ mower lifts at TSC, but wasn't interested in the price tag. Yes, I'm cheap.
Once again form follows function... it may not be pretty but it works just fine.
Cost to purchase a new lift from TSC... $239.99
Cost to make... less than $20.00 - I only had to purchase the threaded rod

If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

NICE! i bought an engine crane at harbor freight and then the air lift cylinder and it works great but the down side is that it cost $250 total, not bad though since i fix lawnmowers everyday for a living. anything is better than laying on the ground with a floor jack. just figure out a way to mass produce those bad boys and your in business!!!

After swapping the engine in my truck using a come-a-long attached to some 3x4 rough cut wood, I decided a cherry picker is next on my list of purchases.

You got that right about laying on the ground. One of my main thoughts in building this is I can throw it in the truck, haul to a person's house & use it on-site. No more jacks or pulling decks for me!
