Anyone in the Seattle area have a Stratton Hydraulic Lift? A man named Ernie lives in the Seattle area (don’t know where just yet) and it was his family’s Cleveland, Ohio, machine shop that built the Stratton Lifts. We are hoping that if he sees one in person that it will jog his memory for some stories about them.
Email Barry Thomas at barry@farmjeep.com or me at d@deilers.com if you know of anyone.

The machine shop is still in business and, if there is enough interest, they may even be willing to manufacture some parts.
I have a Stratton lift. I don’t know if it helps, but I live in Medina county. I looked and E&K Products is 45 minutes from me. The lift was on my 63 cj5, is off the Jeep wright now. If they would need to look at it, or take measurements.
Thanks Mike. I’ll let Barry Thomas know know.
