Jacks, stands, hoists

I'm looking at jacks, stands, and engine hoists that I could use with both small (Farmall Cub) and large (Farmall M) antique tractors. Most bottle jacks and jack stands I've found wouldn't even reach things like the axle carriers and frame members if fully extended. Do you guys have specific vendors and model numbers to recommend?

Thanks!

Like F14 said, I think you would be better off making your own jack stands. Those jack stands you buy are made for cars, not tractors. If you don't have a welder maybe you have a friend that does and could make them up to your specs. As for engine hoists, those "cherry pickers" you see advertised for around $200-$250 will do the job for you. I just finished a clutch job on a 1655 Oliver tractor where I pulled the whole motor, clutch housing and three speed out. If it will work on a big 6 cyl. diesel engine, it will sure work on a Farmall cub or "M".

The stands were 6" well pipe for uprights, topped with a 4" long piece of 8" pipe cut in half to form "saddles" for the axle housings to sit in, and a 16x16 1/4" plate welded to the bottom as feet. Good, solid stable rig to work from.
