How do you post pictures in here?

How do you post pictures in here?

First thing you'll need to do is get 5 posts to upload pictures, it's an anti spam measure.

So no Jib photos ??

So I can’t post pics of the jib crane I fabricated until I have 5 other posts of nonsense before I post something relevant?

So that's 2 now, 3 to go.

Something like that but feel free to post something in someone else's thread. Maybe a couple jokes in The Daily Chuckle, or an answer to someone else's question.

I guess I’ll just share with friends

 

[Bmyers]

Only two more to go.

Just be glad its no 25 like another forum I participate in...

You only need 2 more posts to post photos.

Sent from my new phone. Autocorrect may have changed stuff.

I have a B2650 with loaded tires and ballast box. Jib crane may be OK to quickly move implements around, don't think tractor is heavy enough to set stuff on a trailer.

I did something similar with a Ford 4000 and loaded tires to lift 32' "room in a rafter" style rafters on 7 1/2' walls (around 250-300# each). The mechanical advantage of the lever requires more counter weight than one realizes. I'll post my pics while we wait for Mr. Yates.

Pre-test with engine block for test weight

Added extruded aluminum to boom for even more lift height (forgot to take photos)

My brother-in-law helped me rig a mast to the FEL on my 2301 to lift beams for my carport. They were about 250 to 350 lbs each, 24 ft. long, 2 of them, the 2301 handled them easily. Also used it to set the 2x3 steel trusses.

Room in a truss rafters gave me a 16' wide 6 1/2' high 2nd story. Large hole in center mean lifting from the top. Finished result.

Found a couple pics.

No, I'd set 2 or 3 rafters before going to 2nd shift job. 1x6 lumber on roof, set hammer down - it's gone but, drop a nail it'll stop 1/2 way down. Had pro's install steel.

I'd like to see pics if the OP is still around.
