How do you lift your Argo?

[mowbizz]

Looking for an easy, cheap solution to lift my Argo (one end at a time) so I can place wheel dollies under the wheels to more easily move it around my tight garage space.
I do have a small floor jack and a farm jack as well.
Anyone have such a lift? If so please post a pic...thanks!

Place a piece of wood on top of your floor jack and center it under the front of your Argo under the frame. Jack it up, place the dollies and repeat on the rear. If you have a hitch in the rear, you can use that as a jack point as well.

Yup! That's the obvious common sense way to lift one but I was hoping to see an improvised contraption that would go under the machine and lift in one motion (like one of those snowmobile lifts)...surely someone has improvised one somewhere in the world....

doesn't get cheaper or much easier than a floor jack and 2x6
Unless you skip the floor jack and go lever and fulcrum instead

Yeah I thought about that too...one fluid motion and done!

That's what I'm talkin' bout!

I use a pallet jack with two 2x6 boards screwed to each leg. Then you've also got a handle to maneuver it around.

Got a pic? How high does a pallet jack lift?

[tbone9]

With the boards it lifts it 3". Enough to roll it around or work on it.

Thank you for the pics...this I what I'm going to do...lots of pallet jacks on Craigslist for short $$

Great. Happy to help out.

northern sells a 1500 lb. motorcycle lift for $ 120.00 that looks to be easily modified to work. j.b.
