WTB engine lift, local to PA

[hotmilk400]

i am going to start parting out my car instead of letting it sit around, and continue to get low ball offers on a car with a motor of less then 60k miles.

anyone have a motor lift i can either buy or use to pull a motor from a 98?

i am at 19559 , Pennsylvania. i am willing to drive about 3 hours to pick it up.

i am going to pull it and box it right away (atleast i hope).

also, i know our neighbor just died, and he had a full shop. what should i except to pay used for one (probably professional grade, but old) sounds bad, i know, but i can atleast maybe pick it up cheap.

i know harbor fright sells a 2ton for $209.99 , but that is only if i REALLLY need one, and do not mind running the risk of the thing breaking and droping a motor on me.. haha.


thanks for any and all help!

I could have sworn I bought mine for 129 at TSC....

Come get mine? I rarely use it, and would be happy to loan it out, as long as you bring it back?

Nothing wrong with the harbor freight engine hoists and stands. The welds are solid and the steel is just as good as anything you'll get elsewhere. The hydraulic jack is plenty strong to hold a motor, I had my motor hanging for about a week and it didn't sag an inch. Also, if for some reason the hydraulics gave out, it's not like the engine is going to suddenly drop. With the valve cranked full open, the load still lowers relatively slowly. It's not like a floor jack, I've had floor jacks that slammed to the ground as soon as you crack the valve open a tiny bit.
