Abstract: A base is wheel supported and carries an upright post member having laterally spaced apart brackets for engagement with two blades of a two or three bladed propeller when lifting a nose wheel. Each bracket is provided with a liner to avoid marring of blade edges. Post members of different lengths are provided for use in lifting a main gear wheel of low wing and high wing aircraft. Both of the last mentioned post members pivotally carries a lift pad for engagement with a wing surface. A method is disclosed for lifting a nose or main gear wheel off the ground to a stable elevated position. Fastener assemblies lock the propeller engaging brackets in the upright or inclined positions to engage a two bladed or a three bladed propeller.
