I wouldn't try to use a two post lift with a model a if it were mine,for the reasons I stated..you can do otherwise,I defended the right for you to do as you wish with your property.The next time you see a bare model a frame pick up one corner..without boxing it I wouldn't count on it for a lift support or an open driveshaft application.. |

Re: Putting model a on lift

in the same place every time. I set front driver side first , near motor mount behind steering on frame. The rear driver side is near yoke behind rivet in frame ( things are crowded here) . Opposite side matches across. My lift pads adjust. Good Luck |

I agree that the Model A frame is lightweight and by design made to flex but surely you see the difference between lifting one corner and lifting the chassis evenly at four. That pic with the chainfall is frightening, i don't care if that's how it was done "back in the day"! LOL |

Simple answer. Drive on lifts were the way to go, back in the day. If I need all four wheels off the ground, I jack up the car putting stands under each corner using axels not frame. Enjoy. |

Re: Putting model a on lift
I recently had the opportunity to put my car on a four post lift. I did ask him how he would say change a wheel bearing. He showed me his "shelf" which rolls between the two ramps and hence can put a bottle jack on and than put a jack stand to hold that side of the car up! Of course I just drooled over this set up !!

Re: Putting model a on lift
I use a 4 post lift. I drive the car up on the ramps and the car is fully supported from the wheels. I can do the following with a 4 post lift:
Change oil Do all the lubrication on clevices, etc. Grease all fittings Change the gear oil in the differential and transmission When I want to do bearings or brakes, I have cross pieces I can move to get jack stands under all 4 wheels. Presently all 4 wheels are on jackstands because the rims are out for powder coat. I have even done wiring while the car is on the lift. I recommend a 4 post lift...drive up on it, raise the car up hydraulically and you are good to go. CAUTION CAUTION...as with any lift be sure to use the safety locks. DO not ever get under a lift unless it is locked. I knew someone who was killed from a lift that was not locked. If you want pictures of my set up, you can message me. I got my lift at an auction for $400. It is an EAGLE lift. |

Re: Putting model a on lift
I have used a 2 post-Challenger le10 for a couple of years now. you will need to purchase the extensions to allow the proper height on the liftin pads. It takes patience to work pads around the brake rods and electrical for the brake lights. You MUST take note and balance the weight properly for safety purposes It does get a little easier each time you do it.
