Hi, I was in a heavy industrial scrap yard yesterday, and look what I found...
I paid the guy $100 for it, and I think that's ok. I've been wanting a great old floor jack, for working on my tractors of course...
I've looked at the modern, probably Chinese, jacks, and I almost bought one a while back. But now I'm very happy I didn't. This is a Walker, Number 784, series C, 4 ton "Roll a car". I think it was made in the 1930's. Anybody know?
It weighs 180 pounds.
Can anyone enlighten me on what these screws are for? I'd like to put new fluid in it before I rebuild the pump (I'm planning to put a new rebuild kit in it). It seems to me, one of these screws, or the bolt, is the filler hole. There are at least two of the screws that are set at the factory, and you're not supposed to "screw" with them, or you'll regret it...
I just don't know which is which???
I also like the handle.
I'll strip it all down and repaint it, and fix up anything I can. I'll also remove the "fix" on the bottom of the handle and try to fix it better, so it's as close to original as I can get it.

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
