Craigslist floor jack questions

[petveedub]

The ad reads:

condition: good
4 ton floor jack. Needs small gear.



I haven't gotten hold of the seller yet, so I was wondering if anyone can identify this jack. I'll pm Hiball of course, but anyone else's input would be great too.

If we can get it identified, are parts available, such as the small gear the ad says it needs, and rebuild kits? Any ideas on lift height? I need it for my '96 and my wife's '01 Land Cruisers, so I need ~14" just to touch the axles on mine, then 3" or so to stick my 6 ton US Jack stands under at their lowest height.

What would be a fair price if parts are available?

All help welcome and appreciated,

Maybe a walker, what's the asking price.?

Its a Old Hein Werner, Maybe a GH, Not sure as there are subtle differences between the Jacks and Kits as far as that goes. As far as Hard Parts... Might find some in Used, I know I have a couple frames and Units with Misc parts laying around, NEW.. $$$$ Like Gold because the current HW regime has nothing to do with the Older Models, Thus they are deemed NOS. I really would Question the "Good" Condition, and IMO there are definitely better options.

Hope this Helps.

The price is/was $200 which I figured was way high with a low probability of finding parts. I finally got to a point where I could call the seller, and it looks like the number has been disconnected or placed in the ad incorrectly. No response to email yet.

Thanks Steven. I'll keep looking. It seems like the pawn shops and craigslist around here have all sorts of floor jacks except when I can budget a decent one.
