Shop lift

[Sam Mac]

I also restore and rebuild old Cub Cadet tractors so a couple years ago I found an air lift that came out of the York Harley factory. Bought it and made it 36" longer. It works awesome. Fast forward to the Spyder purchase. Got to looking at the lift and how can I make this work with the RT. Well some 2"X2" steel box tube, some steel plates and I can make front wheel pads that will slip onto the ends of the platform. Pics are of the lift with a Cub on it and before the new adapter for the Can Am. Will post pics of the adapter I'm building.

Edit: Think I should have posted this in this section "Spyder ShopTalk (all models)" Mods please feel free to move this thread, sorry for posting in the wrong section.

It's long enough but I had to make it wider to accommodate the front wheel width. More pics to follow as I finish the "Spyder Adapter". As far as paint for the lift goes, well you can't see it with the shop door closed, LMAO.

This is what I did. I made the side extension poles longer and built wooden ramps for the back of the lift (not shown) for the front tires to roll up.

Did a little work on the lift yesterday. Went riding toady so no progress. Gotta ride when the weather is good. Anyway pic of what I'm doing on the lift. Maybe I can fire up mister Miller Monday and Git Er Done.
