Help identify old floor jack, 20s?

[Orphanautomill]

I found this floor jack last weekend at my dads place. I was stumped by the long handle with wooden grip... My dad explained it was a floor jack he took apart to fix years ago, and never got back to it. The hunt was on, my brother and I searched for the parts, I know I am missing 2 wheels and two bearings.

Any ideas on make, vintage, etc? I would love to see pics of a complete one, specifically the wheels closest to the handle.

Yes, the body is upside down and in correctly assembled.

Thanks!

Marquette..

That was fast. Are these common, ie any chance of finding the parts? Approximate date?

Thanks again!

After reviewing the picture and not seeing "Marquette" stamped into the side frame i'm wondering if maybe that is a Early Walker. The Wood handle leads me to believe it could be a walker.. Below is a Picture of a Marquette.

We have a members named "Old Jacks" who is pretty fluid with early model hydraulic jacks along with Mechanical.

On a thread titled: "Please help me figure out what kind of jack this is" there are three photos (post no.4) of what I believe is the same jack. The rear wheels shown are not casters but wheels similar to the front ones but smaller. This jack was identified by HIBALL as a possible SCOTT ATTWATER. Do an advance search for SCOTT ATTWATER to make it easier to find the thread.

Edgar, you are exactly correct. It is the same jack. I have an axle, so I figured straight wheels. They were lost somehow.

Thanks again

I wasnt at my Office last night but Yes.... I can confirm its from that family. That style was sold under a few different "Brands" Including Marquette, Scott Attwater and Also Stampco. (Look for a K or KF Prefix Cast into the Frame)

Parts? Soft parts are still available, Hard Parts.. Well as the Name indicates, Your probably gonna have a Hard time finding a Good Used Part. Obviously.. you can have anything made, Its just a matter of Cost etc.. If i recall (Over 7k posts here at GJ, Its Hard for me to Remember all the Jack Threads) There was a member who was gonna restore a Marquette Version and after he ventured into the project it became increasingly clear that it was take a substantial amount of Money to make it function properly, It became a wall hanger.

Good Luck..

On Ebay I found a 1933 ad showing a jack very similar to the one in the photo. It is identified as a WALKER model 755.

Was this the same Scott-Atwater company that built outboard motors? I didn't know they built hydraulic jacks as well. Learn something new every day.

I have a complete working model that looks like the one in your picures, excpt mine has a metal handle. About 10 years ago, I took it completely apart, put in new leather seals, painted the whole thing with black epoxy paint, and put in new oil.
It worked fine then, but has been sittng idle since then. I am away from home now, but will test it when I get back in ton Wed.

I would like to sell it, but have no idea what it's worth. Can anybody help with an informed guess as to a fair price?

Mr. Hiball:

Sounds like you realy know a lot about old jacks. Is there anyplace I can get a ballpark idea of what a restored, working Scott Atwater 2-ton long-handled jack is worth? (Looks exactly like the one in the picture from a 1933 ad for a Walker that Edgar found on eBay. See earlier post)

I'm thinking maybe an antique car club member who might want it to enhance the antique decor of the garage where he or she stores the vintage car.

Thanks, patP, Marietta, GA

I don't have any pictures at this time, but am looking for the yoke that hold's the jack pad on an old jack that my dad had. He told me it was rated at 10 ton. I can find no name or
I D plate on it, it has a "speed pump" that is Manuel put in service by a rod that runs inside of the jack handle tube along with the release rod and handle up lock rod and a heavy lift pump and the release is in the center of the "T" handle It also has a lock for keeping the handle out of the way Not unlike a "Black Hawk- S-7" I was jacking an old forklift when the casting broke? After removing the broken part I found it had been broken before and the braze let go. So I would like to find a replacement part or make one if I can fine a milling machine to use There is an old Hydraulic/jack shop in Stockton Ca, so will go by there shop and see what they think. If I wasn't almost as old as the jack I should just replace it.
