Transmission jack ID

[rmchrgr]

I picked up a used but good working ****** jack from a repair shop that was closing. It's a two-stage hydraulic and seems to be pretty heavy duty. I took the pump out of the base to clean everything and shoot a little paint on it.

Can anyone help identify what brand it might be? Could it be Snap-On? There are very few markings on it, save for a serial number tag. There's no decals or anything. There are some stamped numbers on the cylinder base D1 2F8 but my guess is that's just for the cylinder not the entire jack assembly as a whole.

Thanks for any input.

That is indeed a Snap On jack. I had one in my shop, and it worked very well for us. I bought mine new from the dealer back in 1980 or so, and never had any issues with it. I sold it to a colleague when I retired and closed my shop back in 2004 or so. Last time I was at his shop he still had it, and I believe it was still working well for him.

It does not look like you have the pieces that bolt to the top plate that are supposed to keep the ****** from moving sideways. We never found the ones that came with it to be useful, and made our own to fit various circumstances. We also made various additional top plates of different sizes, for other jobs. Rear ends, gas tanks, etc.

I'm not sure, but I think the OEM is likely Walker, in case you should need parts.

Thanks for the info! I'm pretty happy with the purchase, seems like a solid piece of equipment. Can't imagine ever finding it's limit or needing another one for that matter. Not bad for $150.

The guy gave me the adapters, just didn't get them in the photos. There are three, they're the simple right angle type that bolt to the top plate and are slotted for adjustment.

I haven't used the jack just yet so I guess we'll see how the adapters work out. Hoping I won't need to buy a fancy adapter, probably cost more than the jack itself.

Got to put the jack to use yesterday, worked great. The plate angle adjustments were good as were the case holder adapters. The top plate has threaded holes to bolt the adapters to which is actually cool, allows for a lot of positions. I'm used to the sliding type with the ratchet teeth, these bolt on ones worked as well or better.

Yes, we found the side to side and front to back tilt really nice too. Those are the original adapters that you have there. I guess I might be mis-remembering how useful they were. I know we made a bunch of other ones for trannys that had transfer cases attached. And for truck manual transmissions.

You got a good deal on it too. They really make the job go smooth.
