Title: T-Post puller
Post by: Cut4fun . on July 05, 2014, 02:47:14 pm
Roger here is some pics and hope you can tell what you are needing. It is super heavy duty compared to those store bought ones.

This is a homemade t post puller a guy that worked with metal and welding did for me on a trade for a project chainsaw years ago.

And here I've been using a floor jack and a chain?

Floor or bumper jack?

I havent had a bumper jack since I sold my 65 66 69. Never even thought about using them back then. Good idea.

I used a regular hydraulic floor jack.

TSC used to sell a tripod crank up fence post puller. Back in the 70's it was like $28

Now they have one just like yours for $59

I think that was the one mine was sort of copied from.  Mine weighs more then that and has a carrying  handle built in.

BTW, a floor jack isn't very handy out in a rotor tilled field.

Do you put fence up every year like me? If so give me holler sometime and I'll pull them if not in a hurry.

No, I've pulled up a few newspaper box posts over the years and also have used to floor jack to pull up 4 X 4 treated posts from old decks and fishing piers when the lake water went down in the fall.

Thanks Kevin.   Those pictures are perfect and I get the concept on how to make one.   
That is a great T- post puller.

I have been using T-post for stacking all my firewood.   After the house gets built I may relocate where I have it now and will need to pull a bunch of post.

Ok here is a T-post puller I just finished up yesterday and pulled a post with it today.
All can say is I would have had a heck of time pulling out that post with out it.   Works great.
Thanks for the ideas and examples.

Yep best trade I ever made. Some guy on racesaws made mine for a 029 or super parts saw.

Made my life so much easier every spring.


Looks great Roger.

Looks like the high lift jack modified?

Just an old bumper jack that I had laying around.

Found this while looking for that 92cc IPL. Little different design so saving post puller pic.

I had one of those out side freeze proof hydrants that was no longer connected and down into the ground about 5 feet.   I clamped a good pair of vice grips to it and lifted it out with the bumper jack t-post puller I made.   It had been in the ground for about ten years.    I am going to re- purpose the pipe into another peavy.   My last one worked real good on big logs but would not fit the small ones very good.

I've used a floor jack and chain to pull them out.

That sounds even more red neck than my bumper jack.  How did you attach the chain.

The 1/4" chain had the narrow link hooks on the ends.

I made a few wraps around the post to take up the slack with a "C" clamp above the chain.

I had to put a board under the front wheels of the jack
