Harbor Freight 20 Ton Shop Press Assembly

I needed a shop press to break down the spindles of my John Deere 46" mower deck so I went down to Harbor Freight and picked up their 20 Ton Shop Press. This video is the unboxing, assembly, and first use. Mistakes were made, things were said, but in the end, it all came together.

I hung mine without the jack and after hanging then install jack

That's definitely the best way to do it. It didn't even occur to me until way after I finished. 😂
