Hi,
As a kid I used to work for a pump repair place and I remember using
a tripod made from 4x4s,some chain, and a come-along for pulling
submersible pumps. This wasn't all we used,(like power-by-armstrong...)
but what I am wondering is, can anybody refresh my memory as to
how a tripod for lifting, made of 4x4s or heavier, could be put together ?
I just can't remember some 45 years later....
I know it had some bolts through the top part and some chain around
that to keep it from collapsing in, but the rest, I can't seem to come up with.
Thanks..a ton...
PS, I'm not pulling a pump, just want to use it with my come-along to lift
my hydraulic wood spliter to work on it.
