The = information is very thorough, but I did feel like I had something to add = on jacks. I have a machinist that has helped me with the idea and have = a few of these jacks. I have taken a Fulton screw jack, like you would = see on a boat trailer, cut the wheel off and put a plate on the bottom. = Then just take a small pipe and plate and weld to the top, put a chair = leg rubber end on it and it stays fine. I think the overall height is = about 21". It's been awhile, just make sure that your jack handle will = turn when it is under the piano. It is the slickest thing I have ever = seen for this. It just takes one jack and a couple of pieces of 2X4. = No lifting, no hassles, great for leg repair. Stick it under the piano = and crank a couple of turns, it is all one piece and very easy to carry, = takes up almost no room in the truck, and lifts 2000 lbs. =20 Phil Mosley worn out string puller =20 Phil, Thanks for your contribution, but I'm having trouble = visualizing this setup.=20 `Possible pictures to illustrate? Thanks, Tom Driscoll =20 Sorry that the picture took so long. The jack originally had a wheel = on it that was cut off. A cap was put on the top and pipe welded to it. = The cap on the top is to be able to grease the gear inside. That was = welded over because the jack will not be used outside and there is = really no reason to grease it. A pipe was welded to that, it is really = simple and works fantastic, just make sure that your pipe on top is long = enough to be able to crank that handle as it is under the piano. The = handle rises with the jack as you turn it up. I have a machinist that = would love to make a bunch of these if there would be any interest. =20 Phil ------=_NextPart_001_0019_01C36280.2BE48B80 An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
