Look in the Yellow pages for welding services...
My thoughts exactly. I have several local welding shops I have used over the years. If I looked in the Yellow Pages I bet there are 30 or more welding shops in my area.
Attaching 2 jacks shouldn't be more than an hour. Around here a quality welder will cost you $75 for an hour job.
If I travel 10 miles out West into the first small town, I bet it would be a $25 job. :B
Recently, I had a small town machine shop remove and press new hubs and cartridge bearings into a steering knuckle. It was done in 30 minutes and the shop charged me $21. For a sawbuck, I'm not getting my hands dirty, lol.
Good advice on disconnecting the electrical. A guy might want to remove the AC ground, as well.
FWIW, I'm still collecting scissor jacks as I see them at garage sales. So far, I have three that have the same end on the threaded rod. Looking for the fourth.
