Paul,
I bought a 40 ton Harbor Freight unit and discarded the manual bottle jack
and replaced it with another Harbor Freight unit that was air over
hydraulic. It makes quick work out of control arms and really speeds up
production.

I've a friend in NJ who'd be happy to sell you her late husband's eight foot brake and 4 foot shear. Lets see them top that!

Trying to make a brake with all scrap stuff and using 455 valve springs in place of die springs. All of this to bend up more stuff for fabbing a tow bracket. Idle hands are the devil's workshop.
