And the Boom is 9 feet long, And has A 8 ton air jack, I'm not sure how much I can lift with it yet, But the GTX-1054 on the lift Is 587 LB'S And the Boom will swing around 180 degrees,

Just remember that safety is not an option. Use some jackstands when working under the hoist. Your homebuilt crane looks to be a very handy tool, I like it!

I would be very leery of it's mounting! Research "Jib Cranes" and see how the base made and reinforced. You have a great deal of leverage suspended on, what looks like, a little bit of concrete. For your safety you may want to re engineer its mounting platform and re enforce the concrete. Otherwise, its a great idea and a handy tool!

Thanks for all the advise, and I am a safety NUT,
The pipe was bent before I put in the ground and is 3/8 thick the outer pipe is 4 inch and I cement it in a 9 inch by 35 inch deep hole before I poured the floor. and I always use jack stands when working under anything because I just turned 70 on September 27 th. you all be safe out there your self

BAD IDEA.
 I'd rather see you use a jack. Really? A 9' reach and you think this is safe??? I wouldn't get close enough to it to put jack stands under it. Besides..... I'm really doubting you have jack stands that will hold it as far in the air as you have it in the pics. I'm betting you just stay to one side and clean out the deck with nothing but the crane holding it up.

Somebody made lamps out of these but they make great, tall jack stands by cutting a V notch in the O/B end . All the way from Model T through '48 models.

Using ANY kind of lifting device you have to be safe and use the proper stands if you are getting under it. You also have to properly rig it. I've seen too many people lift with the wrong stuff or rig it wrong. Nothing worse than a hook slipping and the load shifting and gator rolling on you.

To the OP. Might I just suggest an adjustable safety gusset? All you need is a hinge point at base, a bar "2x3 1/8th" tubing" and a sliding adjustment point on boom with a pin to lock it.. this will keep your boom from bending and god forbid a hydraulic failure happens the bar would still keep it in the air.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
