New Weaver WA-72

Going to pick this up from a coworker sometime soon. Well when work slows down. Apparently it is a 2 ton weaver floor jack. Jacks up and I had to leave it that way. So I will see if it is still that way when I pick it up. I will let you know what happens.

Looks good, Mike. If its in working condition - please see if you can make a video how it works (I have one which needs to be rebuild and also Weaver Utility which swam with Titanic (one day I will try to finish taking it apart - solidly rusted … )

Shelbylex, I have been following your Titanic jack thread. The only issue I can see (after about 1 minute of looking it over) is that it has what looks like a socket on the handle stud at bottom of the handle in the middle photo. I won't be able to really look it over for a few more weeks after work slows down. But I will post some more photos and a video if it works.

Ok, finally picked the jack up and got it home. Here are some pics of it. I don’t understand why they put a 1/2” drive adapter there at the pivot point. Any help/ideas?

I think it is a good jack, it has oil, needs to be lined and cleaned up. She will jack up but doesn’t want to come down without a load on the saddle. Still learning how it operates and will lift the truck and see what happens this weekend.

Another question: what is the little bolt in the cylinder? Is it a bleed air port? The big bold is the fill valve.

Well, filled her up, lifted the truck up about three inches and held for about 5 minutes and then blew a seal. Rebuild time…
