floor jack ID

I picked up this floor jack from a friend today.
He said he bought it in 1964.

I can't find anything on the model number, and don't see anything online that looks like it.
He did say he thought it was a Hein-Werner pump.

Anyone know what it is?, or what it's weight rating is?

Oem was Walker (93632), your model was sold by Sears and it's was rated for 1 1/2 ton from the factory but later bumped to 2 tons.

That was quick, Thanks!

It's a pretty big jack to only be rated at 1 1/2 tons.

Is it a decent jack?
It pumps up ok but the handle has to be pretty far down before it starts to pump, Is that normal?

Yes.. Decent jack, That specific model has a angled pump piston to allow it to work under a car versus straight up and down, so Yes the handle to pump contact is a bit lower but weak pump seals can exaggerate the condition so you really just need to visually watch the contact point.

Here is a good tutorial on your jack.

Hiball, what was the reason for difference in the rear wheel mounts? Ex. box tubing C vs just a flat plate. I recently picked up one of those jacks (just like Henry has) and it needs a bit of work. Haven't tore into it yet.

Just different styling that changed with the series/models, that particular rear caster style is very expensive to replace versus the newer threaded stem style.

Hiball. I have that same jack and it leaks oil profusely from this round plunger type thing that is attached to the handle. I don't know what its called but can that be rebuilt?

That is the pump piston and sure it can be rebuilt.. #4 has a very nice tutorial to aid in identifying components.
