I have an old Walker Mechanical floor jack. The tag on the handle says it is a ROLL-A-CAR, MODEL 745, SERIES E...Does anyone have any info on this jack. It appears that all the parts are present but it will go up but will not come down. Any information, diagrams, etc would be greatly appreciated.

I have one as well and they are very simple to use. It comes down to spring tension on the palls. If you post a pic I can help a little more. The up and down is a small foot lever on left side. Push it forward and it goes up and step on the rear and it ratchets down. Careful on the ratchet down part as it will ratchet down and then drop when it gets down to the last couple teeth.
