Hello everyone-
New member here, just sharing a recent addition to my shop: a vintage Blackhawk S4 jack.

Welcome to GJ! Real Sweet score.
Old floor jacks is what brought me here too. I have a Walker 782 I restored and another newer by comparison Blackhawk. Not afraid to use either one.

Vintage Floor Jacks

Thanks. For that price, I expect that is the entire caster assembly. Hopefully I can get by on just a wheel. Wow, I owe HCRCNow an apology. I didn't realize until I saw this again how rude that came across. What it really means is that I'm old and cheap and haven't adapted to what quality...

That's a fine jack that you have there. I picked one up a few years ago too. You're now equipped to jack up a battleship if the need ever arises.

Welcome.

Nice Floor Jacks, guys!

Don Long - I love that red 1930s Weaver. I recently missed a Utility version in NY by a thread (trying to get a second parts one to restore mine...)

Hello Folks! Well, I decided to sell my Blackhawk S4 that started this thread. I had bought it specifically to use on a vintage car hauler truck I had. I've since sold the truck and really no longer need this jack (I also acquired a smaller vintage Walker that I'm keeping). The jack DOES WORK! And lifted my 1941 Dodge Cab-Over hauler with ease! However, it does slowly settle under load, but it worked fine for my needs as you could easily set jack stands. The only flaw is that one side of the handle is missing. I had planned on having one turned on my buddy's lathe and TIG welding it on. Doesn't affect the operation at all. Looking for $150. I'm located in Minooka, IL. About 60 miles southwest of Chicago. Send a PM for more info. Thanks for reading.
