Jones & Shipman eye bolts

[chrisg3103]

Recently won an auction for a Jones & shipman surface grinder, guessing its a 540? is here - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Surface-G...Mhmm%2B8a5id%2BxlL0y8%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

thing is it does not appear to have the lifting eye bolts in the top, anyone here who happen to have one that could look? worth a shot, cant find it in the terrible photocopy of a manual i downloaded. Ta!

The one we have has 4 chain eye studs in sides of main casting, not J&S though an EXE engineering one.
Lifting has to be low so no distortion of castings.
There appear to be 2 hookey things on front apron are there same on back?

There should be 2 eye bolts on the very top of the column at the front, nearest the wheel. supposed to lift using a combination of these and the cast hooks so it does not tip forward and empty the hydraulic tank. just hoping the seller hasn't tried lifting it by the table!

Also meant to say in first post im after the tread size for the eye bolts

Real surprised they lift on column, I have see one that had been lifted on table not good, bent the hydraulic cylinder
