Homemade PTO Shaft Lift Jack

This Homemade PTO Shaft Lift Jack allows one with an arm and/or back impairment to align and hitch the shaft without having to lift it. The device is simply a standard scissors-type automotive jack with a half-moon-shaped metal cradle affixed (welded or bolted) to the top. When hitching, the jack is raised to lift the shaft into position; once the PTO is attached, it’s then is lowered so as not interfere during equipment operation.
