[QUOTE="Wayne440, post: 120780, member: 15549"] I have a 742. The typical thing that happens is that someone tries to lift a "couple hundred" more pounds, when that doesn't break something, they go for it. Then one day- "well then 500 more probably won't hurt" and if that works, "500 more" becomes the machine's assumed capacity. The 742 started production about 1981, and the last one made is now 30+ years old. Pushing an old machine to beyond ratings is a good way to end up buying parts and chasing leaks. My advice- if you intend to lift more than 1300 pounds, find a larger machine. [/QUOTE]
