The Shop Gets a Lift

A subscriber had a lift table that he was no longer using. Instead of selling it, he offered it to me. The only catch is, its a couple states away and weighs in at about 800 lbs. Thanks Jim!
I use Harbor Freight Super Heavy Duty Degreaser in my ultrasonic cleaner.

What a Kind and Generous fellow! The world needs more like him 😁👍👍. Happy for the big addition to the shop!

[@coreybabcock2023]

Definitely agree

[@soupdragon5555]

Nice to see such a generous deed

[@larrysmith3374]

So now, when I watch a JC video, I can concentrate on the work being done and the lessons being taught, not how his back and knees must be feeling. Nicely done and thanks!

[@jcondon1]

Back and knees are still good. This will help keep them that way a little longer.

[@eoghanosullivan6704]

LOL, same!!!

[@lestergillis8171]

@@jcondon1 Just wondering what brand is it ? Model ?

[@AmosBHaven]

I gotta agrees with ya man! I dunno for a certainty if Jim is getting any older. But I DO know for certain, he AIN'T gettin' any younger! 😉

[@johnpullman3227]

@@jcondon1 A wise man once said "let your head save your knees?!" or something like that! LOL That is a tremendous addition to your shop. Cudos to your gracious donor.

[@ddblairco]

the older I get and the struggles with getting up off the floor while working on the motorcycle, the more I want one of those lifts. Congratulations James and Thank you to the donor.

[@johncourtneidge]

Me too!

[@xcalibre222]

A much needed item for the kind of work you do on gens, lawnmowers and such. A real back saver. 👍

[@rstephe]

Thank you Sub'er for helping JC to continue teaching us a thing or two.

[@PaulRansonArt]

Brilliant addition to your workshop. Its kind folk like the donator that makes the world go round. Happy mechanicing ( and less sore knees )😃😃😃😃

[@stumpy2816]

That was extremely generous of that fellow.

[@jamesdougan8789]

i been wanting a lift like that for over 30 years

[@Rev-D1963]

What a wonderful gift! This gentleman deserves high praise. May God smile on him and his family. I'm super glad you have this James; the reduced wear and tear on your back and knees will pay dividends for many years to come. Congratulations, and God bless. Rev. D.

[@r8118830]

Its becoming more of a workshop and less of a garage every week James. Its a very nice lift and works very well. I did not think your tractor would make it happen. You proved me wrong.

[@jcondon1]

I think the tires were the weak link. But they held.

[@rayshutsa6690]

What a kind generous gentleman. James you have a great following on your channel. It shows us that there is a lot of great people in this world.❤🇨🇦

[@oldroscoe2590]

Thanks, now my knees won't hurt watching your videos.

[@jcondon1]

No guarantee you won’t see me on the floor still. But this will make things easier for sure.

[@kaylajason8917]

This is definitely a back saver. What a awsome gesture to you and your channel. Who ever donated Thank you. Idea like mustie1 add a electric winch to the end so you can drag up heavy, hard rolling equipment into your table.

[@TractorWrangler01]

I have a "Handy Lift" and this is similar in function. The handy lift is larger but I never had a hard time moving it around like that. The handy lift is pneumatic and has a huge cylinder under it. It weighs about 400 lbs or so and I move it around the shop easily by myself. I put a wheeled dolly under one end by lifting it and sliding the dolly under with my foot. Then I simply lift the other end by hand and move it around like a wheel barrow. Easy peasy. At one time I entertained putting permanent wheels on one end but dismissed the idea because it was just easy to move without it. BTW that lift will be a godsend when you have something really heavy you need to get into or out of the back of a pickup truck. You're going to love that. I use mine constantly. Also find a 1/4" - 1/2" piece of plate steel a little larger than the top and you have a welding bench and a trans bench too. You'll use that for everything. Meanwhile it's a work bench that very rarely gets cluttered. Your viewer must really love ya. And a thank you from me to him for his generosity! That viewer just changed your life with one great gift. 👍

[@marcelobraz4259]

Wow!!! In several aspects “wow’s!” Love the generosity, the gift itself and your way and care to load/secure and unload as well the shop visit. Regards from Brazil!

[@bjh5766]

Can only wish I had one. That was a very fine fellow who passed it on to you. HE knows it will get plenty of use. Congrats!

[@JRattheranch]

Nice handy acquisition James! It's going to make your repair life much easier 🙂! 👌 Perfect lift with the mini tractor too! 🙂

[@rancelynch6514]

Rance here. It's wonderful to have internet friends who are so generous and caring to make others have a better and easier way to accompolish their task. For certain we viewers will now be blessed with more entertaing videos from Jim. So I to want to add my thanks to this viewers generosity...THANK YOU !

[@ericvaughn1126]

A very generous donation indeed and this video will help someone...you! Hopefully it won't pose new challenges for filming "at new heights" and we look forward to seeing your lift in use in future videos.

[@Rein_Ciarfella]

Congratulations!! Finally, no more comments about James working on the floor! Hopefully. 😂👍🔧

[@jcondon1]

I will still get those comments. Was just working on one that was missing a handle. Could not get it on the lift :(

[@Rein_Ciarfella]

@@jcondon1 Nooooo!

[@Willkiser1]

To the table donor: What a kind, great and thoughtful gift of the lift table to a very deserving person who will use it to continue educating me and those like me. I thank you, sir!

[@dirtroadsailing6418]

That is a very generous and nice addition to your shop and channel! I was thinking you're going to want a better air compressor about the time you said you might need a better air compressor. I liked the Harbor Freight trip, you do just like me and look at all kinds of stuff that you didn't go there for.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Nice pneumatic Lift Tale like that the wings come off very nice of him to give it to you @James Condon

[@qfdforme]

Jim, who donated the lift table, deserves a big thank you. Very generous of him.

Nice addition to your shop that furniture dollie is a handie thing to have also 👍

[@willie2938]

Fantastic... Thank you sir who ever you are...😁

[@mikesbarn1858]

I am so glad for you. Seeing you work on the floor all the time was really hurting my back and knees. I am resigned to working that way myself constantly.

[@rayvoorhies7180]

I'm impressed with that small Kubota. Certainly made unloading that heavy table much easier. Lift tables are a great addition to your shop.

[@Bass.Player]

Very nice gift. I used these lifts for my motorcycles, they are really nice to have and the one you received is a really good one....

thats gonna assist in making great videos! congats on the find!

[@oldsranch]

Nicely done. And you will end up using it more than you expected.

[@tullydog9047]

Nice! The older you get, the more you're going to appreciate this. I recently purchased a used Generac with low power and with the help of your channel was able to get the old girl back to full song! Thanks for bringing us along with your diags and repairs!

James excellent addition to your shop back saver rite there I will doing same next to my my shop no more bending over to fix riders or push mowers or gens .

[@tedschmaltz4346]

Two thoughts, here... first, this is a GREAT score - you really lucked out. And second, there is always a need for a larger air compressor...

[@MARKE911]

That is a great and very generous person. He is a great person. What a nice addition to help. Fantastic.

[@BS-ol3qy]

I always wondered why you didn't have one of those yet, just watching you bent constantly over made my back hurt!! I have the HF motorcycle lift ( I took it as payment for replacing the starter ring gear on a HD) and use it for all sorts if stuff, not just motorcycles, saves SO much pain in the old back. I had my back cut on back in 2005 and both shoulders done in 2018, so having my work on a table is a requirement at 56.

[@williampugh6699]

I was aching watching you work on the floor. This will be a great help.

[@greghanlon2235]

Nice shop upgrade... a total back/knee saver. Perfect for generators and that scooter restoration.

[@loisrinehart6755]

I thought i was the only person in the world that thought Harbor Freight was the greatest store ever invented. My wife hates it when i go in there. Nver leave empty handed. I just discovered this video but have been watching yours for a while now. Thanks for the tips. I have fixed my leaf blowr and my weed whacker thanks to you. Keep it up sir.

[@jcondon1]

Thank you!

Nice addition, I have the exact same trailer and I'm really enjoying it also. That lift is very sweet and generous of the guy. I'd hopefully pay it back somehow with some labor or something.

That’s a sweet lift . Letting it down sounds a bit like me getting out of bed in the morning , lol

[@kingwood4357]

Nice addition to the shop and thanks to the person that gave it to you 👍

[@PaulMack1249]

You were right, Jim. Very impressive. That’s probably the last piece of equipment that you’ll ever need to complete your workshop, and you’ll wonder how you worked all this time without it once you use it a few times.

[@jt9498]

Nice addition to the shop. Looks to be in really good shape. However, I'm sure you'll lubricate the slider wheels for the up and down travel...especially the down part to get rid of that gawd-awful noise it makes! :) Looking forward to watching you use it.

[@jcondon1]

I have been lubing them like crazy. Still just as noisy. Maybe a little better. Might need to take it apart and grease it properly at some point.

[@johncourtneidge]

I add my thanks to the subscriber also. This has been a wonderful stage on which we are blessed to enjoy your wizardry! Ps our north American cousins should reflect upon their material wealth. As contrasted to the deep poverty in which my African friends struggke to exist: I note the stock in the Harbor Freight store and their lack of food, medicines, sanitary products, school fees, jobs.

[@barmanvarn]

Been watching your vids for a while and most times I’m yelling “get off the floor!” LOL Grats on getting the lift.

Very nice gift! Congrats, it will save your back and knees. Thanks to donor!

[@robertdavis6708]

Glad you finally got a lift Jim. I can't tell you how many hours I spent watching your videos seeing you bent over and struggling. I have built 4 or 5 of those machines using a 2.5" X 30" hydraulic cylinder for thrust but a 1 gal. oil reservoir ,electric 120 volt pump. Nice Tube fan also for donating it. I'd buy him a Kroger steak for his generosity. lol.

[@richardwalters1803]

I m glad your finally going to be able to work up off the floor

[@NY411Info]

Wow, nice gift. It doesn't look like a cheap junky built unit either. We know you will use it and save your back as well. Thanks for sharing.

[@MrTryingtodobetter]

Awesome gift. Looks like it will be put to good use and make life so much easier on you. you do not stay young forever and that tool will extend your back and life.

[@gregorypiercesr.2769]

When using the winch put a heavy work blank over the cable so if it comes loose it doesn't hit anyone or break a window out of the tow vehicle.👍👍

[@bjh5766]

And oh by the way I think you are a genius! I thoroughly enjoy your videos. I just discovered you about 3 weeks ago and I am still watching all I have time for. Keep up the good work!

What a Excellent gift. Have to admit he deserved this for all he’s given us ty to that subscriber.

[@jp-um2fr]

England. That little winch you bought nearly destroyed my 'courting tackle'. I got fed up with digging ornamental fir trees out of my front garden and used the same item with a 1000lb rated rope. I loaded it as much as I thought safe - nothing happened. As I stepped over the rope it broke, I felt it brush pass my nether regions. My wife said 'Is it alright'. I said 'f&^$%^ hell' (our version of 'Oh My God').

[@itsallfabrication]

Thanks for the vid James. Nice addition for the workshop.

[@P_RO_]

Yaaaay!!! Now I can stop worrying that your back will end up like mine. I had a similar lift when I worked on motorcycles- a real godsend. They do need a lot of air volume moreso than air pressure so until you upgrade compressors you can "tee" in a portable tank.

[@mjw7124]

14 years ago I had my front bx24 tires foam filled. BEST. Thing. Ever

[@curtdunlap6818]

This is definitely on my list of things to add to the shop. Make it Extreme made one and Mike Farrington has a video on his and how useful it is. I use the HF hydraulic push cart which is better than nothing but this is the way to go.

Another awesome and educational video! Thank you again for posting. I can’t wait to see your next video.

Great contribution from the subscriber - and nice addition to the shop 👍👍

[@dannydunnagan3267]

Glad you got the lift will be better on the back have a great week.

[@Captionmarvelous]

Your compressor may be large enough. I think its a matter of volume. Maybe a second tank that would hold about 30 gallons with a T fitting so your lift could draw off both? Of course the second tank would always be in place unless you had to take the compressor out for for some other duty......Nice guy, that man that gave you the lift!
