Default Lifting a 900lb mill without a hoist

I have the mill resting on a couple of 4x4s, and can easily get her a

wooden platform to the cart without killing myself.


Jacking or other single-point lifting from below is inherently unstable and
therefore risky in unforeseeable ways. Avoid jacking, but if you must
jack, constrain tipping with adequate rigging before you jack.

Otherwise:
