Antique Jack

I have/had one a lot like that but I have not seen it in a few years now but I also have not looked for it either

I found mine when I moved everything into my new pole barn at end of 2019

I use those for splitting tractors,mostly for putting them back together.I keep the blocking and jack stands in place,but those screw jacks can go up or down incrementally,not too much at a time like a bottle jack.How many times have you wanted to drop a bellhousing 1/8,and the bottle jack drops it a half inch before you can shut the screw off?

Model T or A ford Jack.

 

[Pete-IN]

Not a Model T jack. Made for a heavier car or truck of the 20s or 30s. Have sold a bunch on eBay. Usually worth about $10 in my experience.

When I was going to college I lived in a 10x50 house trailer. I used this jack to level the trailer after moving it to a new location..
I'm keeping the Jack for memories only. Don't use it. I have 5 floor jacks. 2 jacks in each pole barn and one jack in my old workshop.

I believe this is a Model T jack

Geo, I have that same jack. Pulled it out of an old rv I helped a friend scrap.

I was thinking how it must take forever to raise one of those jacks. Your experience highlights just how useful that ratio could be. Dave

I actually use a regular floor jack to take things apart,then use that jack to put back together.I have things blocked or jackstanded pretty close before I use that screw jack.I only have to raise it a half to one inch to line things up.They are pretty unstable.

I remember one like that when I was a kid.

I was told it was a Studebaker jack.

I think there was 2 or so foot flat iron for a handle. It was tapered on the end and I believe it was to help pry the rings out of the wheels on a ton truck.

I agree with you Pete that jack is newer than Model T ..I have two like the one George posted.

 

[Papaw8]

I have two of those. Neither have the flip top. I use them all the time.i like them better than any type jack of that size.

 

[Leroy]

I have one like that and one without the flip top.Don't rember with one came from where. One I know was a B & O railroad jack that uncle gave me a few years after he retired as a breakman for the B & O railroad. Used to put engines back on the tracks.That was over 50 years ago.
