1st thing is to see if there is enough jack oil in it

Repairing a floor jack is exactly how I was led here to GJ many moons ago!
Usually it's just a matter of seals and/or just oil.

I answered a FB ad last year for one like it 3 miles from me and came home with it for $25. I hit it with Awesome cleaner and hosed it off in the sun and have been using it since. The guy had proudly just installed a lift, so I guess he likely decided he was done with jacks. I thought selling the jack was a naive rookie mistake, but not my place to educate him. I now have two of them and a HW O’boy.

I would have paid $5 for that even though I'm trying to downsize on "potentially useful ****" and projects. Good luck with it !

In case that pic was too small for you to read the label, here it is.
Walker was a top notch jack made in USA Professional grade seen in lots of serious shops back in the day. Certainly worth rebuilding.

That’s a very informative 15 page read with great pics.
Once rsanter gets his Walker up and running it should not need any more service for the rest of his life. Those old jacks are built like tanks.
