Hein-Werner Floor Jack

[fvaughan]

Hi Guys,

I had been in the market for a good floor jack, mostly to use as I begin a restoration of an all-original 1967 F-250, and came across this Hein-Werner WS jack at a pawn shop about 2 months ago. Anyway, I went back and forth for a while but went back last Friday and picked it up for $90.

It is a great piece of machinery. My question for those in the know is: approximately what year would this be from?

Thanks!

90? Ok, what were they asking?

there's a newer one that's blue and yellow for sale on our local classifieds. says it needs a pump. they want $45 for it.

I think they were asking something in the $120 range. I hmmmm'ed and haw'ed because I had heard about them going for less, but its literally the only USA-made jack I have seen second-hand in town, so I figure if I get great life out of it I paid a fair price.

Where do you live?

It probably just needs a rebulid kit put in it for about 50.00 I would snap it up if it looks ok other wise.

nice find. Lets us know where you buy the kit, I have an Ole Boy 1 1/4 that needs a pump seal and a 1 1/2 that needs more.

Just a guess, those were made from the 50s to the 80s. I have two of those myself. Good jacks and will go a long time with some care.
