Cian is correct about the motor/blower. I used an engine hoist with a spreader bar (shop built) that was just barely tall enough to get it up on the assembled unit. I put mine on the wall bracket which may have made things a little tougher. After that I changed my approach. I bought a hydraulic lift platform from HF for about $150 (at the time) and in the subsequent several times I put it up/down into position, I used it. I would assemble it on the lift, then jack it up and roll it up to the bracket.....very carefully, so it wouldn't fall off. Doing so i was always able to handle it by myself.
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

Now my HF-based cyclone is beginning to look pretty poor, and I only finished that 12 months ago.

Bought their 7" intermediate set....basically 10' long, with 2 5" drops. One will have the 4" rockler hose attached to that I can drag from tool to tool, the drop at the end of the run will terminate at the planer. I really dont need anything fancier than that.

I passed on this at the initial purchase. I figured I could get a replacement filter and one later (ill likely get a second filter this summer, IMHO its easy to swap the filter and set the dirty one aside to clean it when I want rather than needing to take time when its time)
