O' Boy

[Roberts210]

I saw an ad on the local CL for a Hein Werner jack. $60. Went to look at it and got it today. It's an 'O Boy, 1&1/4 ton. I got it from an old drag racer who said it had been in every State in the Union. Works great.

That's a beaut! Good find OP!

 

[Roberts210]

Thanks. I intend to use it as my in-the-truck jack. It's lighter than my Milwaukee's.

Going to restore or leave as-is?

 

[Roberts210]

I'm gonna grease and lube it and leave it exactly as is.

I found the same one curbside on garbage day. Took it home since I live the pair of he jacks I have. I forget if they are 1.5 or 2 ton but they are both bigger than the 1.25 ton. All 3 work but all 3 need a rebuild. Especially the one I use the most, it's gotten really weak and barely pumps anymore.

BH38, it might just need fluid.

Leaks out slowly.

Rebuild that baby! For what it cost you, you can't go wrong.
