Hi Bob,

WELCOME BACK!!! :D :D :D

I got a pair about two years ago, have really used them. Best thing
since they started putting pockets on shirts.

Thanks, Bob.

Great and simple idea.

Way to go Big Dog couldn't have said it better myself. I actually had thought about larger casters, and pneumatic ones. I found that on a concrete floor the smaller casters worked very well. There is not all that much weight to support so I decided against the larger more expensive casters. The shipping was more costly as the the larger casters weigh more and are bulky to package.

:wink: I have been using Bob's jacks for sevrial years with no problems with the casters. The jacks have fine adjustment for lining the two tractor halves back up. It shure makes spliting cubs safe and easy not to mention the ease of roling the two sections around. You cant go wrong with them.

If you need to use them on dirt or a somewhat rough surface, throw down a chunk of plywood or OSB.

Bob,

I am interested in a pair and would even pick them up. It would be a nice short trip to Chardon.

Tractor Jacks - Ready to BuildWith Orders

Postby Bob G. » Sun Dec 17, 2006 12:39 pm

Hi all, It seems we have enough interest to build more jacks. I have checked what I used to charge for the jacks and 4+ years ago it was $75.00 per set plus shipping. I have looked into the cost of the steel and casters and all and feel I can make them again for $85.00 plus shipping. This is how I would like to handle the orders. Just send me an email to Groot123@alltel.net and put in the subject line - TRACTOR JACK Order. Then be sure to give us your name, address, city, state and Zipcod. My efficient secretary (my wife) will send you back an email with your UPS charges and total for the order.

When the jacks are built and ready to ship, I will send you an email to that effect. You can at that time, send a check and we'll UPS the jacks. This way, I can have idea how much steel to buy. You do not pay until the jacks are built and ready to ship - I just need some idea of how many to build during the winter to ship by early spring. Thanks - Bob

I bought a jack set from Bob a couple of years ago and have been very pleased with them. Well built and they made working on my Cub much easier. :D

Merry Christmas,
