can i use my sears red craftsmen motorcycle jack to jack up my trike......are there any mods. that i can do so i can use it.......any adapters so i can use it.....right now i hate to buy a new jack.........i see you guys are using the j&s jack......thanks for your help and comments........i get my new trike wed......

 

I have the same jack (from when I had my Ultra) and no it does not work on the Trike. I am looking hard at the J&S right now.

 

ok.... thanks.............need to sell the sears jack and save for a j&s i guess......thanks for the replay

 

Can you explain why it doesn't work? Is it not long enough, or won't it pick it up? I have the same jack & was hoping it would work....

 

First, you can not get it far enough back to center for a level lift. Second, the trike is too heavy for the jack. Keep in mind that this all based on my red Sears motorcycle jack that is nine years old.

 

I have red sears that worked great for all my Harleys..
Now with the trike it aint no good. I really wanted to figure out how to use it...but There would have to be some major jacking engineering done. I decided the J & S will do the job right...right tool for the job theory. These Trikes cost a bit of money and I didn't want to jimmy it up with jacking mistake.
Waiting for the J & S to ship to me.
I have a red sears jack for sale???

I don't have a trike yet but picked up a used pitbull jack yesterday and was wondering if it would work when I go to a trike...it is stamped no more than 1300#...

 

I have a Pitbulll. They make an adapter for their jack to fit the trike...I got one from them last January and it works. The big thing is you have to pull the back tires on a 2X6 to have enough room to get the jack in place. You can call or email Pitbulll and they will send you the info
