the regular saddle is under the bolted-on aluminum plate that you see in the picture. i was told the jack was originally used by a atlantic championship race team so that could explain why the flat aluminum plate was installed. i've sent a pm to hiball. can't wait to get this thing fixed up.

awesome response, that rebuild thread looks great. i'd say it looks really close. maybe i'll try my luck with some replacement parts for that model. here's the picture i promised, camera is out of batteries so i took a quick photo on the cell phone.

hi everyone i have a 1 1/2 ton walker i'm trying to identify. the serial number reads: J632 G16134 is this identical to the 93632 series? its the only other jack that walker made that i can find the numbers "632" in from my online searches. its leaking from the ram so i'm in need of some...

nice link to the review. i wouldn't group taiwan in with china produced products. made in taiwan products are REALLY GOOD. made in china is usually ranges from pretty bad to barely okay. when i was growing up i used to use old sockets, ratchets, wrenches that my dad had in the garage is when...

i had this exact issue when i went to purchase my last craftsman ratchet. i sorted through 3 or 4 that had different ratcheting feels until i found the one i liked most, and then the chrome/finish had a big variations as well. it bothered me to think they felt so different, where's the...

i only use hand tools that are made in USA and taiwan for a good reason. duralast and other "auto store" branded tools that are made in taiwan (same manufacturer maybe) have excellent quality and durability at great prices. US made tools imo feel a bit better in my hands but i have never...

my dad has used a made in taiwan floor jack (mid 70's or earlier?) in the garage since before i was born. thought it had finally given in to old age a few weeks ago when it seems to stop working correctly but today decided to take a closer look at it. the thing just needed to have some air...
