Does anyone know where I might find a base pate plate for a
farm / hi-lift type jack with a foot measuring 100mm x 245mm. The jack is from Repco (Maxi-Trac I think). They don't stock the bases, or spare sheer pins, I probably needed to do a bit more research before buying this one.
Thanks, AllanK

G'day Allan, we have a genuine Hi Lift it has two holes in its base, what I did was cut a piece of Steel chequer plate (I think it is 6mm thick) 300mm X 300mm drilled two holes in it and then welded two bolts in the holes to locate the jack on, they are flush on the bottom face and protrude about 30mm ish for the jack to locate onto (bolts are approx 12mm diameter the biggest that would fit through the jacks foot). I don't have a picture of it, but if you want one I can put it on here tomorrow if you like. It works fine, cheers. Kanga.

Thanks Kanga, What a great idea. My jack also has some holes in the foot which would accommodate some pins to help stabilize it on a metal base. That might be the answer.
