Milwaukee Bumper Jack Model 15

[jrobb316]

I picked up this Milwaukee Hydraulics bumper jack model 15. I was told by Milwaukee that the model 15 was produced between 1948 and 1956. I plan to eventually do a restoration on it. I think its pretty cool and possibly useful for tire rotations at home.

Can you explain how you will use it for tire rotations please? I've seen so many bumper jacks over the years, but have never found a good way to use them on modern vehicles unibody or full frame.

I've got one just like it, and I want to sell it, but I don't know how much to ask for it. Any ideas as to what it might be worth?
Thanks

A Milwaukee bumper jack, MontereyJack, is a lot less useful today than if it were a Milwaukee floor jack, due to the limited amount of cars with adequate bumpers. I sold my Milwaukee floor jack for $300, but my 2-bit, ballpark guess is your jack would sell for around $100. That said, if you feel like that's incorrect, put it on ebay with a B.I.N. of $250 and see if anybody bites. You never know what someone will be willing to pay for it. It IS a Milwaukee jack after all.

These are useful if you have a lift you can use it under the lift. The top of the jack is flat so you can support things under the vehicle.
