What project doesn't have a few hiccups? Great concept and execution. Your chiropractor appointments will now be history. Have a Healthy and Prosperous New Year.👍
Is that a Hobart handler 140? If so and you are using flux cored wire, be sure your gun is connected to the negative terminal and the work clamp is connected to the positive. Also be sure that the little wheel that drives the wire is positioned directly over the wire and the proper groove is being used for flux core wire.
I wasn't using flux core. I was using .030 mig wire. Got a new small spool of wire to test it with and that did the trick. Now I have a 10 pound spool that needs some rust treatment.
I did something very similar. I made one 24"×36" then one 24"×60" I use the short one for mowers & generators and longer one for small motorcycles and bicycles. Seems to work great! At 60+years old some of the equipment gets heavy. I used expanded metal for my tops.
A worthy project that I'm going to copy. Thanks for posting. Good to see you're wearing "eyewear." Suggest folks use earwear, too, when using loud machines. Eyes and ears are hard to replace.
Curious to know your process for finding a mower engine part? Your go to website, etc. Even with Model no., Type, and Code I have yet to find a parts website that is easy to use for this…. Thx

Nice mod. I've been looking to come up with a lift table myself.
It's working fairly well. A couple more modifications in mind.
Yep I might just do it my self because back hurts all the time. When your back goes it’s pretty much ends mechanic work
@@SmallEngineDIY look for old air lift for cars and add a top plate to it
Works great and easy to move around

It’s nice to have a grand son around when having to pull rope all day

👍👍
I used a old air lift Ajax car lift and added a top to it
It’s a back saver and yes my back gives me hell also

I just Google it.
Lift up outer edge at lest two inches so weight of mower pushing it down is what I did
Sure was a lot of talking and very little planning and almost no build.
