Walker 784/884, $150 is too much IMO. It's a older jack, condition is everything, expect some machine work along with a seal kit to make it functional. I would pay close attention to the finish on both pump Pistons, Main ram as they can be a window into what the internal condition might be, Also look at casters, front wheels, pivots etc.

Good luck

Are you still fooling around with jacks? Have any long frame ones you have redone for sale, or plans to redo any in the future? I tried to pm you a while back but you were unable to send to.

I getting back in the groove, I'm trying to take care of some of my personal projects first.

Hey HiBall, still around? What's your opinion on these 10 ton pair?

They are Weaver 10 tons, WA 75 for reference. It's definitely my favorite style in regards to long frame jacks. If you need a 10 ton Jack, there great but if you plan on working on 3/4 pickups, Moms SUV, look elsewhere... The sheer size and mass of those things tend to tear stuff up when trying to push them under lower slung vehicles. Outside of that Condition is everything, on the plus side castle equipment is still the authority on Hard and Soft Replacement parts.

We have several trucks and tractors on the farm but I am really interested in getting under things like 35 foot long hay haulers that I don't want to crawl under anymore. Really don't have much low stuff I guess the lowest would be our cattle trailers which the sides are probably knee high. Those jacks seem to have a hump that most don't idk if that's bad or not.

I went back and looked at the ad, I seen it had prices and description. I'd give $500 for the pair in a heartbeat, especially since they claim to be recently rebuilt.
