[QUOTE="SkidRoe, post: 31208, member: 3290"] Funny you mention the hoist thing. Once we had in the shop, I was lining up the arms under the front of the boom and under the rear frame, then Pops comes walking in and says “just stick them into wheels“. The wide rims have a very deep offset, so you can just stick the pads right into the rims. This method would definitely NOT work on the 773, thankfully we have not needed to yet!! We bought the hoist used, and part of the rebuild was to bolt a generous piece of an old truck tire tread cap to each lift arm pad, which helps by not marring up the rims. I am sure that you could come up with a slick way of picking up a bigger machine with a hoist. We have bridged the arms with heavy wall tubing on occasions when the there were no decent hard points for the pads to pick up on. The rear door is all marked out to receive its hole. I have more pictures from today's efforts. I will post them in the morning. It didn't seem like as productive a day today, lots of fiddley work that seems to take a lot of time. [/QUOTE]
