Dave...yea those casters are pretty useless with any weight on the hoist. Other than that, the unit works pretty well.

Same deal - used a coupon they sent me in their mailer for a better price than the current advertised sale price. It seemed like a better deal than the 1 ton for the price I got at the time. Plus, you never know - what if I had to pull the mighty Cummins some day? Before I separated them, I moved my 361 with tranny around no problem - although the casters leave a lot to be desired as far as turning ability under load. I may upgrade those some time. It sure is handy to have, though.

I called the closest store to see if they had one in stock. The store claimed to not know about the $99 price but to bring along the coupon. I did, and they sold it to me. unassembled. It is a lightweight fold up crane. but at 2000lb. capacity, it should handle an engine with no tranny. I sold my old -bent- non fold for $50 so I'm do'in alright..................MO > > {Steve Mick} > http://stevemick.shutterfly.com/pictures#Part%202 > > ---- > Please address private mail -- mail of interest to only one person -- directly to that person.
