Nice! There were Western Auto stores in many of the towns here in N.E. Pretty cool that that kit has nothing missing after all these years.

There's something to be said for having the only one on the block. I recognize the appeal of those solid old C.I. tools.

Yikes! In the 4th image you can see a hand under the sawblade shortly before it was severed. Interesting relic, but I wouldn't try to put it to use. I don't see anything that looks like a handle for swinging the saw through the cut. Does the bed slide through the blade like a crosscut sled on...

That thing is a beast. Pretty sure you can still find the block that allows more height above the table for re-sawing. Good luck with the restoration.

Thanks Jim for the heads-up on getting the photos loaded. Ron B

Hello Lug, Here's another attempt with those photos. I've got the seal kit on the way, and I'm already painting some of the parts. See ya, Ron

Nice to think that our widows will sell off our "junk" at $10 a bucket. Serves us right.

Hi Lug, I'm working with Lazzar's to identify and hopefully buy restoration parts for the bumper jack. I've got it torn down and will get info to you as the process advances. No luck with the e-mail address you PM'd me. Regards, Ron

Lug, I'm going to try to download some photos here. If the dates you mentioned earlier are correct, then I've got to assume that this item is from before 1946. If I get the mechanical restoration underway, I'll trace and try to duplicate the decals and labels. I've got to wait for some better...

Hello, I'll get some photos posted tonight. If you've got any degree of familiarity with this thing, I'd be grateful for a push in the right direction. Even though I don't drive any vehicles that can be lifted by the bumpers, the arms on this thing look like they'd reach in to some other...

Hello, I'm a new member, and found this site while searching for some information on a bumper jack I'd like to restore. There are a few threads detailing some nifty floor jacks, and now I'll end up looking for one of those to restore too! The jack I've acquired is marked AJAX, and the...

Hello, Was looking for information about an old AJAX bumper jack I've acquired. The instruction label mentions controlling the air pressure to raise and lower the vehicle, but I'm ashamed to say that I can't find the connection for an air hose. The unit is old and heavy with 2 metal swivel...
