I've never had one of these before but man are they great. So much easier to work on the sled when you dont have to be lying down on the floor. It has a 5000 lbs jack with a drill attachment which is so nice to have, and lifts to 34" with a collapsed height of only 5 1/2". Anybody else have on of these? -------------------- Sled Union 2005 Adrenaline X 500ss Camoplast Cobra J&T silencer 440 C-36 rear shock Piggy back X package front shocks (valved stiffer) Tunnel reinforcments Stiffer torsion springs and center springs Billet pull cord handle Powermadd handguards with Rox mounts Low X fixed windshield 2 inch riser Skid plate and a-arm protecters Custom torsion spacers Air box dust mod

A couple of years ago somebody posted plans for the lift.....and that is what I based mine off of. The cylinder operates with a air over hydraulic pump. I have less than $200 in it and that includes the air over hydraulic pump.

A buddy of mine builds them and the steel and labour is more than that. I personally don`t have one and my back is screwed. I`ve worked on a sled thats been on a lift and what a "joy" that was!!! I`d like to have one that is powered with electrics instead of having to run out and buy the 1/2 inch drive drill. I`m sure someone has "McGyvered" one with a winch setup! -------------------- " That is the beauty of snowmobiling, 90% of the day I am completely lost.

Actually all we use for a drill is our 18v cordless milwaukee and it works just fine. No need to buy anything special. It also comes with a hand crank but it takes a while to lift with that because of the 5000 lbs jack -------------------- Sled Union 2005 Adrenaline X 500ss Camoplast Cobra J&T silencer 440 C-36 rear shock Piggy back X package front shocks (valved stiffer) Tunnel reinforcments Stiffer torsion springs and center springs Billet pull cord handle Powermadd handguards with Rox mounts Low X fixed windshield 2 inch riser Skid plate and a-arm protecters Custom torsion spacers Air box dust mod

They are strong enough to hold a sled and test pilot! This isn't mine but I have one just like it. The wheels on yours are different with 4 casters up front, but only straight wheels in the back. Mine like this one has 4 swivel casters with locks at each corner so it can be moved sideways. -------------------- Tiger REV Mods My Mods to the old 440X Gade I go on vacation where it is colder than at home.

What was shipping to the border worth? I`m in Sask. I noticed they have a dealer in Ontario I think, but the closest other dealer was one in Bottineau, Noth Dakota. -------------------- " That is the beauty of snowmobiling, 90% of the day I am completely lost.
