I got my hi lift from my grandfather, but it was pretty beat up, and didn't function quite right, so I ordered a rebuild kit for it. And then sent it to the powder coat shop. Yes I realize I could have bought a new one ($20 for rebuild kit + $75 for paint) but I like this one, I remember using it on the farm as a little kid. So it's gonna stick around for a while! I've been assembling it while I'm at work. Almost there!!

Good to see old gear getting a revamp ....

It probably would have outlasted a new chinese one even without the rebuild kit .. ;)

Well, we could get technical and say that white is the absence of color, and black is ALL the colors combined....

Sorry for hijacking this thread rofl

You might have been able to pick up a new one for as much as you spent... but this one will outlast them.. not to mention this one has sentimental value to you that the new ones could never have.... Plus I enjoy getting to see old stuff given new life!!

will I won't say blue is good or bad becouse I have2 4x4 that are blue and one that is green. But if I paint one of the blue ones yellow the i will have a fullcolorban (blue and yellow make green) that trumps all other colors.
oops exept for Jenssen who has the hole rainbow covered.

Yes, white is the absent of color, i.e. no imagination. Black all colors, basically the mutt of colors... :poke: :rotfl2:

Blue the color of the sky, indicating that the sky is the limit or rather limitless.

I have a homemade block I found in the woods made from a large shackle, a bolt and shiv from something. Took it home and took it apart. some of it is on the floor of the shop now to anchor a winch line to for winching in dead rigs
