Beautiful restoration

[@galtsgarage5775]

Thank you!

I am so glad you posted this video. I recently came into ownership of a 1 ton version of this same hoist. Starting the cleaning now and hope to have it operational by the end of summer. If it turns out half as good as yours, I will be happy. Nice job!

[@galtsgarage5775]

If I could give you one piece of advice, if the hoist still has it's original chains keep them. The chain has a really odd pitch that I had a very difficult time finding a replacement for. Thanks for the kind words and good luck!

@@galtsgarage5775 , yes the chains are there. Thanks for the tip.

[@petermoygannon698]

Just started on mine yesterday . exactly same one

[@galtsgarage5775]

It's really cool to see it come together, I hope you have the original chains. I had a hard time finding the right pitch for one of the chains. Good luck and I hope you enjoy it!

What colour green did you use thanks

[@galtsgarage5775]

Pretty sure I used John Deere green, I bought if from farm and fleet if you check the website it will probably be there. It was a spray paint, farm implement paint.

What was that 3 grip contraption you used a drill with?

[@galtsgarage5775]

That's called a gear puller.

At 1 minute 25 im missing both those chain guide brackets id say be impossible to get them . Mine is the 1 and half ton . Yale and towne.

[@galtsgarage5775]

Yeah I think you might be up a creek on that one.

[@petermoygannon698]

@galtsgarage5775 Unless I find one on ebay for cheap because its a mess and parts missing cut a deal And just buy the brackets . Seem to be more over there im in Australia

@@petermoygannon698 You might be able to find a whole unit to be parted out, that would be pretty cool.

[@petermoygannon698]

@galtsgarage5775 If you ever see one . never know .

[@petermoygannon698]

I ended up making the brackets looking at your ones . Came up good .
