. The eyebolt goes through a 4x4 spanning the trusses.

 I just did this a few months ago and immediately wondered what took me so long. 

 

 

Same here Bob.  I spanned 4 trusses with a 4x4 to hang my  $40 auction found 500lb hoist.

And the push button height adjustment is a real back saver when butchering deer.

You're only picking up part of the tractor. So you don't need the Biggest and best. Use jack stands under the wheel baskets for safety.

I have a 1990 wheel horse classic model # 31-12KE01. The older I get the more difficult it is for me to remove my deck in order to sharpen my blades each year. I am wondering if anyone has used a tractor lift and if so what type? I really don't wish to spend $300 for one (e.g. Craftsmen @ Lowes) but I'm not sure if the "budget option" from Harbor Freight for example will do the job as its maximum weight is 300 lbs. (Not sure how much my tractor weighs). Anyway any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you so much.

 

 

Thanks for all the suggestions! You guys are awesome. I ended up finding this one on FB marketplace for $140 and I see where HF has 3 TON jackstands on sale right now for $35 so going to pick those up as well. Someone suggested placing them under the wheel baskets which I think is a good back-up plan.

Used front mule drive bracket, some scrap angle iron and chain host. No load on axle, can grease hanging there, can move mover deck or other attachments with ease. Would be nice with a small winch.
