Old school bumper jack

[masmith]

I was given this jack and it works great. However it is not practical the way it is for working on the Cubs. I thought of mounting the reese style receiver on it and making some type of lift arms that would go out far enough to lift the tractors/implement. I would love to hear any ideas on making this useful. I have the basic metal skills to build or weld adaptors for it. Thanks.

Just a thought. That looks like a nice solid "old" jack. My dad had one similar when he had his auto repair shop. Have you thought of selling it and using the money to buy or make the kind you want? There seems to be a market for the older heavy duty shop tools like your jack. Plus, it would keep the jack around serving it's original purpose for many more years.
