Does this mean I am lazy?

I just didn't feel like pumping the cherry picker.

Re: Does this mean I am lazy?

Work smarter not harder. Seems to be the motto of all old people. Young people are too stupid to have figured that one out yet. Most days I am the stupid one.

No sir, forklifts rock for engine work. The tilt function makes life easier and no labor

i seem to be the stupid one,not just some,but i think everyday.
theres the tad longer way of doing somehting with the right equipment or rigging something with crap trying to get done quick,and taking that extra second to find the right tool or whatever seems to make the job go 5x faster.and has a great result of not having to re-do the job. sadly,i take that short yet longg route it seems everytime.

Re: Does this mean I am lazy?

I'm old and lazy, too. I got sick of pumping the cherry picker, so I put a pneumatic/hydraulic ram on it. All I had to do is work the air valve, and up it went.

Re: Does this mean I am lazy?

I'm 23 and have used a bobcat to pull engines and its nice and easy. I also used a 68 ford wrecker one time. Like they said, smarter not harder. In a pinch, seatbelts make great straps for pulling motors.

Re: Does this mean I am lazy?

I used my tractor to swap rear ends and install a lift kit. It was alot easier that a floor jack
