How is this lift cranked up/down? And, if with a tool, does it come with the lift

There is a rod that is removable that goes through the end of the shaft but if you remove this rod a ratchet and 7/8 socket can be used. I removed the rod and I just use a ratchet and socket which is so much faster.

The one I ordered is no crank, chain rope by one side can pull up or down. Hope I answer your question. Joe

There is a hand crank on the front of the machine. I don't mean to be smart-assed or anything, so please do not take offense, if you have to ask how to raise and lower the blade, you really should read the instructions and thoroughly familiarize yourself with this machine because it could do some serious bodily harm if you don't use it properly. Please read the instructions until you "understand" what you're doing. Make sure you use the riving knife to help prevent kickback (VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION).

You manually lift it in and out of transport position. When in use, the plow slides up and down on the push frame as the contour of the ground changes.

When I installed the lift I remove swaybar links and shocks and tires. Supported the axle with hack stands and then lifted the body up enough to pull the old spring and install the new spring. I did not have to change the sway bar links and the lift came with the shocks. It took me about 3 hours to do. But I'm a mechanic and I had all the tools. It's possible to do I your drive way if you have the right tools.

Neither it's just a push lift mechanism. My husband easily installed into a older model Cabinet works like a charm. No more lifting machine best purchase I've invested in.

It has a handle that folds up, and then you just basically pull. its a one bar type handle.

It's been a while since I got this lift and put it together. I don't remember specifically, but I took a look at mine. You need to install the bottle Jack with lever pointing out. four bolts hold it to the frame. I remember having to undo and redo it a couple times because I put it on in the wrong order. It would have been nice if there was instructions included. Have you tried googling the maker? Sometimes there is info there. In the end I don't remember it beimg foo difficult. Sorry I'm not much help. Wish there was a way to send you at least some pics of mine completed.

It comes with a long handle that you crank the rim higher or lower from the ground. Very easy to use.

You lift the handle to raise the deck hight or press down to lower it. The mechanism seems to be spring loaded so you don't need a while lot of force to raise the deck up.

It came with some tools:like a hammer, a screw driver and screws. Hope this helps.

Mine did but I must tell u that the pull up handle gets stuck quite often when u try to raise it. I would not have bought it if I had known.

Just the handle. It is very easy. The handle comes lowered and to raise it to the desired height doesnt take any tools, just hand tighten.

It is not difficult at all. Very easy. Lotta 'turning' involved because of the screw type lift assembly; but does turn very easy. Would not be worth it to invest the extra money in a hydraulic system, in my opinion.

Comes with a tool to loosen the bolts and screw the bar adjustment. Haven't been able to get mine started for months so I haven't needed to adjust the chain. I wouldn't buy this chainsaw again, ever.

Yes, you need just enough pressure to hold it up as well as take pressure off of the nuts that need to be loosened. Keep it jacked until the new one is tight. Just barely jack it until you see it move up just a hair and leave it until you're done. Look up the torque specs as well.
