Re: Backyard frame straightening tips?

You can pull a frame at home if you have the stuff to do it. I learned to do some low tech pulling in the mid 70's because thats what we had. You need a way to tie the frame down. What we had was steel cups in the floor of the shop the had a cross bar in them we could run chain in and some we could drop 3" pipe in that allowed us to tie the frame down and block it up and places to pull from. You have to be creative with chain, come alongs, bottle and floor jacks but it can be done. It took a lot longer than the frame machines can do it and not as accurate but we got by.
