I would love to have one myself. Why do you suppose no one with the skill and expertese to do so is making them? My be a money maker for someone. I don't trust my welding enough to do so.

If they will sell for $609.01 including shipping there seems there is room for someone to make money making them. Surely you could get a lawyer to make up a disclaimer to release you from any liability as long as you made a quality product. There is not that much to one, Shouldn't be that hard to produce one at a fair price and not get sued for doing so. High Priced Tractor Jack   [Reply]  [No Email]

IMO, the jacks are collectors pieces,fun to have and show, but I would never use one for doing any serious work on the tractor. It is much easier sliding a floor jack under it and much safer blocking up the tractor. That being said, if I were looking for one to add to the collection, and given a choice at the same price, would rather buy an original than a repro.... Tim   [Reply]  [No Email]

I bought mine for $30 (missing the chain). I was buying a set of helper wheels from the guy and he said I've got something else you might be interested in. When he said $30 I jumped on them.   [Reply]  [No Email]

I may be wrong but I think it was made only to adjust and set the wheels width for row crops or terrain to be farmed. Its not to change the oil or anything like that as all the fluids can be drained as it stands. I bet somewhere there is an instruction manual that says don't get under the tractor while using this jack. Dell has the old books on this I think.   [Reply]  [No Email]

Another factor is a person with the where with all to build quality tractor stands can spend that time on better paying projects . Set up time for one unit would be a couple hundred bucks . If you sold ten jacks , you could earn $15 an hour as an estimate . I don't think the market would support 100 units . Maybe someone like Red Rock Manufacturing could add this to their list , but I would think $200 plus would be the price . It would be a labor of love for the N tractors that will find a builder . Just like rebuilding carbs or hydraulic accessories , it is not a big money maker but more of a hobby that you break even (if your lucky)   [Reply]  [No Email]

I'm certainly no lawyer, but if I was going to do something like that I would want to consult one about limiting the liability. Maybe I'm a coward, but I've worked hard for what I have.   [Reply]  [No Email]
