Craigslist score: Hein-Werner 2 Ton Jack

[roblouvasz]

Hey Y'all. I just picked up this Hein Werner 2 Ton off of craigslist for 75.00! The guy had it listed for a while, but he listed it under Autoparts and accessories instead of tools. That's possibly why it didn't sell fast. Anyway, it's a great addition the shop and looks good next to my other Hein-Werner 2 ton I got from grandfather.

Aww, you ****. I'd love to find a long body jack like that. Does it work properly, any leaks?

BTW, Nice jointer, what model is that?

The jack works fine with no leaks. The guy I got it from put a new seal it some time ago. I plan on doing a small repair to the "fork" of the handle and do a rebuild on the hydraulic cylinder. I've already did a rebuild on my other Hein Werner. I plan on photographing the rebuild. The jointer is an American 12". I don't think there's a model number on it. It's got babbit bearings and I think the cutter head was upgraded to a Crescent brand head possibly from a clamshell style some time ago.

I'll give you $85 for it.
