Big old floor jacks

[scrapdaddy]

Anybody into old floor jacks. I just brought home the Grandaddy of them all. A 20 ton Weaver. I have a 2 ton Weaver and this one came up at auction, so I got it. Huge! Best part, I got it for 40 bucks. Needs new seals, but that's to be expected.

Good job

That thing is awesome.

 

[scrapdaddy]

Now, what to do with it? Part of the collection.

Clearly, now you need a bigger truck. Say a vintage Mack, KW or White.

How will these do, 2 1/2 ton M35 and 3/4 ton M37

NICE! I used to have a WC51. It was the coolest truck, I kind of wish I still had it. But it did 45mph and was kind of pointless to own other then for just coolness factor.

I sold it to buy my two FJ55s so I was happy, but it was a cool truck and I kind of miss it sometimes.

 

[scrapdaddy]

I really like the old military stuff. I use the M37 on the farm and the deuce is my get out of dodge truck.

That WC is probally the coolest thing I've ever owned for just badass factor. I do kind of miss it, but then again, I really like my Piggies. Plus, I got twice what I paid for it when I sold it so I was alright with it.

Seriously cool objects you've collected there. Hats off.

Thanks man, That's how I got the name Scrapdaddy. My Wife says I bring home alot of " scrap " without the S !

good find!!! we got one similar to that sitting behind the shop at work. one of my mechanics almost tossed it but i thought i'd get a seal kit for it someday and bring it back to life.

I wouldn't let it get away. Even for scrap, my jack weights in at @570#. If it's a weaver jack, you can still everything you need for it.

Great thread!

I've not spent much time over here in the Tools & Fab part of Mud. Spotted your old jack thread. Checked it out. This is COOL! I got some education reading this thread. Had never heard of Weaver jacks. Thanks for making my day!

 

[scrapdaddy]

Hey Rigger,

Check out ( Castle Equipment ) and look up what they sell them for. It will make my $40 purchase sound even better.

I've got an old Walker 1 1/4 ton. Got it used, well used in 71. Several rebuilds later, still going strong

I found a 1-1/2 Ton Hein Werner Floor jack at a garage sale a couple of weeks ago, the guy wanted $30 for it, his wife took me aside and sold it for $24 (that's what I had in my hand ).

You probably bagged the best floor jack in the industry,, I had one for 30 plus years, all the seals are easily replaced, Great buy.

I know my Sons will be passing them down to my Grandsons!

Just brought home a relative. It's the one in the middle ( 10 ton ). Works, but it's getting a rebuild.

Now I have the 2 ton, 10 ton and 20 ton. Last one is the 4 ton .

Had to pay $125, but it fits the collection.
