I need a safety officer to see if this is rebuildable

D2Cat · Feb 27, 2020

Saw this on the local FB Marketplace. They want $4000 for it and say it's rebuildable.

If it's dangerous to drill a hold in a ROPS and continue use of machine, would this be OK to fix and use?

Yes, take the four tires off and scrap the rest. The tires will give you a good start for rebuilding.

Well sure a little duct tape and some baling wire and you should be good to go

The first test ride could be a little tricky.

I think it's a JLG Manlift.

JLG scissor lift. We have lots on property at work, in much better condition thank goodness.

The propane canister is still attached so it's good to go!

Prolly wasn't worth $4k before the wreck.

Anything branded JLG is expensive. Rented a JLG loader backhoe last year. Nice machine.

Shows what I know (don't know) about a scissor lift.

I am sorry but you can not use the term "manlift" that is very sexist! It should be: personlift. Unless your are of the LTBGQIA and then I do not know what the he11 you would call it.

BigG, all these acronyms confuse me. We take the first letter of a word and make it a new code word.

I'm over on a cattle forum, and those guys are the most conservative folks around, except for what they may say. They had a thread about some various protest and parades. This is what one guy posted:

I just realized that I'm part of the LGBT community, Liberty, Guns, Barbecue and Trump!

I'm going for more coffee!!

I avoid cattle forums like a bad cold.... Most of them smell like manure.

Just rented a JLG Straight boom 65' man lift the other weekend to top some trees near my house. It was the 2nd time I had rented it. Really like this machine. Can do some real damage on the property with it, and create a BIG mess on the ground that I get to clean up wonce the Man lift goes back to the rental company. Cost about $425 to rent it for the weekend with 8 hours of use time. Every hour beyond 8 adds more cost. I never go over 8 hours cuase you can create a huge mess well before 8 hours.

They are like most forums. You can get a lot of good, practical information from most members is some area of farming, but there are always some who ARE full of BS. As usual, they're easy to spot!
