Methos, Im pretty sure it will go down far enough but I havent tested it. I could back up on some blocks to lift the rear and see how far down it goes. The problem I think is the height. I need to look around for some pictures and see how how they normally go. I have the nut all the way down. But I have that big nut/spacer under it that I could do differently.
I should be able to cut the nut welded to the top casting off with a cut off and grind it back down. Lifting pin! Thats what that is called. Thanks! I need to make one. I have 1" round stock laying around. Actually I have some 4140 I could use if I can drill it.
