Kudos ! Your demonstration for assembly deserves the highest shout-out. The act of watching "speaks" much louder and clearer than an instruction booklet. Thanks for doing the unwelcome task of reading the booklet's assembly steps, and for making it all visible.
Thank you I bought one I'm not a reader but a visual learner also a stoic learner but I couldn't make sense of the manual so I came to TH-cam for the good ole fashion eye to hands on take
I know you didn't ask for it but a word of advice. Leave the brake on your lawn mower off while raising it. The jack can drag the lawn mower forward some but it will stay more stable for sure. Then before you crawl under it put on the brake.
After reading all the comments, there is nothing left to say! I too, appreciate the video. It was the ONLY one I could find that shows step by step. Thanks, my friend!
The price for the jack went up $80 since you’re video came out. Inflation sucks, but that’s life. But I did get 10% or $30 when i purchased it at Harbor freight. Great video, it’s guys like you that make my life easier. Thanks again brother
Man buddy ty so much for this. I know I’m 5 years late, but I just purchased one of these for my Zero turn Simplicity mower and my ATV. What a great video walking you through everything step by step. More often than not, those darn booklets can be a mind bending experience sometimes. With your video I had mine up and going in a half hour. Thank you once again for taking the time to do this. Guys like you rock!!💯👍🏻🎯🫵🏻
@@HandyGuy2016 your so very welcome sir. May I ask? Is the jack still in service for you after five years? And what do you think of it now? Did I make a good purchase?
If it wasn't for this video on how to put the 750 lb Harbor Freight Heavy Duty Mower Lift I don't think it would have been possible. I took my laptop out to the garage and put this thing together without frustration following every step he did. And I'll tell you this Harbor Freight Heavy Duty Jack does absolutely what it advertises. And it stores perfectly only 17" wide which fits out of the way in the garage. This lift is worth every penny. I'm stoked!
Thnx for the great video. I was FINALLY able to get the only one at the local Harbor Freight store .... Only one came in on the truck that same day. I stopped to ck on it, and no one had beaten me to it. I even was Blessed to have a $30 off coupon, so bought it for $169.99 (plus tax). Had to make several stops before going home, and believe it or not, no thieves got to it!!! Lol .... Got it home and assembled, and love it!! Like one of the other comments, I have one of the smaller lifts, but won't lift the heavier John Deere. This one does the job very well tho!
I would agree, this lift is safer than what I used to do before I got a tractor with a loader. Doubled up 2 x 12s opened trailgate on pickup placed boards at a 45 degree angle and drove up set brake and chocked rear wheels. Many years I did this, difficult cleaning deck working around boards and changing blades. Then I bought tractor loader I chained front cross member on Wright Sentar Zero lifted and did my work, that also is a little sketchy. Chain holding up 1000lb machine from smashing me into concrete.
Thanks for the video, this will make assembly faster for the rest of us.. However you have your description of saddle and H-Frame backwards. The saddles are the wheel holders and the H-frame is the H-Shaped center piece for heavier lifting. (From HF website: Exclusive H-frame center beam support allows multiple service options including steering, brakes, wheel and tire repair).
Just picked one up today. Excellent video. Will be assembling it tomorrow. After watching this I expect it to take half the time. About the only thing I'd do extra is put some grease on the axle for wheels.
I noticed on the raising the wheels were on the two bolts, are you supposed to drive mower wheels into black brackets as deep as you can and then when you raise mower the wheels eventually roll onto the 2 bolts holding tires. Because as you go up tires go back towards the rear of brackets. I'd rather have tires nice and deep into holsters.
I like your High Lift jack HandyGuy2016, I just found another way to change mower blades. I used tractor front loader for a few years, and chain, stand at mower deck change blades. Mower drives between out rigger legs of 2 ton Harbor Fright Hoist, will lifts 1000 lbs. 8' high, I still use chain. Than walk up to mower deck change blades. Hoist folds up, rolls in shop for storage. Used hoist to move 1500 lb lathe. Same price with coupon, $200, as High Lift Jack. I was in market for cheap crane, only problem, they start around $700. I only try to lay on my back in bed, like to looking at ceiling, Ha. Good video.
That looks like the same one from Harbor Freight that I am wanting to get. I have a lift currently but its not really strong enough to lift my garden tractor. Kinda hate to get another one just to lift a certain tractor but I dont want a 800 pound tractor landing on my head either LOL
@@HandyGuy2016 Of course once lifted, stands or blocks will be another layer of security under the 4 corners of the wheels. I already have a Cub Cadet lift and about to go harbor for the lift similar to yours if they have it. Thanks for the reply
Hey Bud how is everything going? Do you this have this atv/mower jack? Thinking about purchasing cause I really dont like the Ballard super jack v2 I have.
I have an old Sears riding mover. Whenever I need to change a belt, I flip it on its side on grass and change the blade or belt. When finished, I flip it back. This does not do any damage to the mover and I never had any issues. Just make sure the gas tank isn't full, so the gas doesn't trickle out.
That is a bad idea as the oil will get up into the upper part of the engine where the valves & plugs reside. I'd wait a good couple hours before starting the engine to allow oil to drain back into the crank case.
You could have just gotten a concrete saw and cut a 6 foot by 3 foot hole in the center of your garage and laid in that any time you needed to get under the mower.
@@HandyGuy2016 you should have just taken credit for it. Savage moment. My son had me rewind the video a dozen times and rewatch that moment as we laughed hysterically. Either way. Bravo. 👏🏻
While jacking it up it looked like the left wheel was going to fall off the ramp. The video changed showing the wheel was moved up. Looks kike a safety concern if you doctored the video.
That lift takes up way too much space in the shop. Too bad it doesn't fold up, or if it does, too bad we couldn't see how that looks when it is folded.
Not sure i like it looks like when your jacking it up the front wheels don't look very safe i would be afraid it could fall of those cheap looking rods.
Fart at 6:15. But here's the weird part: when I did my own assembly, I farted at the exact same point. Somebody oughta look into this. Could be a consumer safety issue.

Best video on TH-cam for this model, hands down. Thank you for your effort. Harbor Freight should be paying you!

I sold it recently, but it was working great still. I think it is worth the money.
Best demonstration I've seen. Thank you so much for sharing.
I was going bat crap crazy . Lol
THANK YOU SO MUCH! YOUR DIRECTIONS WERE SPOT ON AND SAVED ME SO MUCH TIME!!!
No problem
After watching your video I definitely made my mind up to buy this lift for my mower.
Thanks for the instructional video. 👍👍
Your tutorial was extremely helpful. Thank you for this!
Thank you very much for creating and posting this. Your efforts are much appreciated. You may have saved my marriage.
LoL, that's a big compliment.
Nicely done! I threw away the directions and followed your video instructions. Thanks for doing this!

This flick helped me complete assembling BIG TIME, SUPER to not have to look at the crap instruction, thank you sooo much!
Excellent instuction video. Thank you. 👍👍👍
Thanks. The manual was confusing. Your video was great!!
Great Video .. NICE FART at the 6:15 mark lol
Thanks for the video! The "instructions" were getting me nowhere, so you saved the day. So far mine hasn't made any fart sounds.
Lol
Thank you very much! Sure sped up my assembly time! 😂
Great time saving video. I never opened the instruction manual.
Thank you

Thank you so much for your video, I was able to assemble mower lift a lot faster thanks to you.
Great!
@@HandyGuy2016 I noticed the base of the jack wobbles a little.. Is that fine?
@@TheFmendoza2929 as long as everything is tightened up, yes a little play is good.
@@HandyGuy2016 thanks again
Very good video. Allows you to construct it together way faster then the instruction booklet.👍
Thank you

There are bearings in the wheels
@@marshallevans9457 no from what I remember. Just a rod wheels slide over.
This video is priceless. Thanks.

Yup ! I had had to play it back a few times. Sure sounds like a BIG FART ! lol ! 6:16
I counted 26 pumps to get from the bottom to full up. Great video.
Well done!
Thank you
The fart at 6:16....NICE!
Whooo!
Nice video. I would add that the mower should be in neutral when lifting or mower could fall off the jack.
Yes, that is correct. Thank you for watching and for the feedback.
Got the same one today. Did u let one rip
I can see by how you jacked the mower up & the way you had the tires on the supports you were doing it very wrong & dangerous.
Thank you for the video. The directions were not clear at all!
That looks like the same one from Harbor Freight that I am wanting to get. I have a lift currently but its not really strong enough to lift my garden tractor. Kinda hate to get another one just to lift a certain tractor but I dont want a 800 pound tractor landing on my head either LOL
Hazardra Lawn Care That is exactly why I bought it. I want to play it safe, when I have a chance to lol.
Will it work on a 1100lb zero turn with a bagger and counter weights?
looks like that lift is easy to handle, thanks for info
Can you take it apart for storage? It looks solid but the size would take up a lot of garage space.
Partially
Not sure if I should get this or the smaller version. I have commercial mowers.
I would not go smaller if you run commercial mowers.
@@HandyGuy2016 yeah I just see that it does good and is half the price.
I wonder if one can use another lift in the back to lift both end so it can be lifted higher.
I'm not sure but check the weight rating for sure.
@@HandyGuy2016
Of course once lifted, stands or blocks will be another layer of security under the 4 corners of the wheels.
I already have a Cub Cadet lift and about to go harbor for the lift similar to yours if they have it.
Thanks for the reply
Hey Bud how is everything going? Do you this have this atv/mower jack? Thinking about purchasing cause I really dont like the Ballard super jack v2 I have.
I don't have this one anymore, but it works well.
@@HandyGuy2016 ok thanks! Hope leaf season and lawn care is going well for you! Do you still have your Ballard jack as well?
Yes I do, thank you.
I have an old Sears riding mover. Whenever I need to change a belt, I flip it on its side on grass and change the blade or belt. When finished, I flip it back. This does not do any damage to the mover and I never had any issues. Just make sure the gas tank isn't full, so the gas doesn't trickle out.
Oops typo.... mower, not mover.
Lmao
That is a bad idea as the oil will get up into the upper part of the engine where the valves & plugs reside. I'd wait a good couple hours before starting the engine to allow oil to drain back into the crank case.
Have you lifted a riding tractor? Does the H saddle hit the deck?
I have and it was great, it didn't hit anywhere.
How is this thing working 4 years later? Was it painted or powder coated?
Painted, and it worked out great.
It looks like to me that the tires should pass completely over the first silver bar and sit down in the larger hole against that black cross piece?
Correct, I didn't have it on very good.
Has anyone converted this jack into an air over hydraulic like the presses or motorcycle lifts?
That would be a great idea 💡
You need to show this with a Can-am Spyder reverse trike motorcycle….
How did you jack your mowet up before the purchase of this?
I used ramps and it was not very safe
Let'em rip!
6:15 💨
Looked the the front casters were trying to walk out backwards as it was lifting.
Memphis Vapor Company That is why you need the safety strap.
not in the cradle right
need to adjust wheel saddle to a wider gap so wheels fall down more
Thank you for the video! The written instructions truly suck!
You could have just gotten a concrete saw and cut a 6 foot by 3 foot hole in the center of your garage and laid in that any time you needed to get under the mower.
Maybe some day 😉
ABOUT AS CLOSE AS YOU COULD GET TO ROLLING OFF THE JACK.
Did you fart at the 6:16 mark and just keep rolling with the filming? Please say yes.
Lol, the dog did
@@HandyGuy2016 you should have just taken credit for it. Savage moment. My son had me rewind the video a dozen times and rewatch that moment as we laughed hysterically. Either way. Bravo. 👏🏻
Lol, good deal
Your voice sounds different. Were you sick then?
Sky Marie Yes I was, lol.
Front wheels not very secure where they are at. Not much holding them.
Yeah, I didn't have it on very well.
While jacking it up it looked like the left wheel was going to fall off the ramp. The video changed showing the wheel was moved up. Looks kike a safety concern if you doctored the video.

Folding would be a good idea.
Not sure i like it looks like when your jacking it up the front wheels don't look very safe i would be afraid it could fall of those cheap looking rods.
I didn't have it on very well and I didn't have it safely strapped. I just wasn't familiar with it yet, so I didn't demonstrate it very well.
Fart at 6:15. But here's the weird part: when I did my own assembly, I farted at the exact same point. Somebody oughta look into this. Could be a consumer safety issue.
Lol
Great Video, Instructions Weren’t Very Good. Thank You Very Much For This Assembly Video!
