Here is a slightly different version.

I think he is lifting a converted 150, not an overloaded 185 so there is that but an interesting idea.

Re: Interesting jack

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

Re: Interesting jack

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.
