Interesting jack
Have problems with your aircraft? Maybe just questions about how best to tune or adjust something? Regs or maintenance? Need to know the best way to do something?
Is this anyone here??? Seems like simple way to do it. I just need someone to make it.
My two left thumbs can’t weld...

Here is a slightly different version.

I've built that style of jack but we use them for motorcycles. Never crossed my mind to build one for aircraft.

I’ve been wondering how to get my pit bull stand to work...

Pretty slick. but as pointed out, he appears to be lifting a C150/150TD--
a Skywagon's a lot heavier.
As far as building one, you'd not only need to fabricate the over-center lifter,
but also the axle-looking fitting bolted to the gear leg.
And if you wanna get particular, that fitting would then be an (unapproved) mod to the airplane.
