Walker 4 Ton Jack

[bartels_metal_works]

Today I scored a Walker 4 Ton jack! I believe it to be a 93657, but the tag was painted...grrr... It was painted at some point and someone added a couple pieces of flat bar to the bottom edge so they wouldn't drag the pump on the ground when going over uneven surfaces. I will need to rebuild the pump as it builds no pressure. Any idea of the approximate age of this particular style? HiBall, I will be needing your assistance as MANY others have in the past!

nice looking jack. i am unfamiliar with the brand, but i am assuming quality, older American made unit? how high does it lift and what are you gonna lift with it? that would lift both of my cars and the mower at once!

Yes, it is an older American made jack. I believe it lifts 25-26" but as it currently doesn't work, I don't know for sure. I really don't need a 4 ton jack, but for the price, I could not pass it up! Since I plan on rebuilding the pump and seeing that it was poorly repainted in the past, I will likely strip it and repaint it.

I've got the same beast. I'm guessing early 1980's but could be into the 90's. It's virtually the same as the contemporary Hein Werner, which is really a re-badged Walker. Before this, I had a Walker J134 from the 50's or 60's. Same hydraulics, but was the more Art-Deco design.

I use mine to lift my F350 Crew Cab Dually with the diesel engine. May not need all of the 4 ton capacity, but do use most of it. I believe the max lift if 24".

I could see it being in the 80's. I would love to have one of the art decos, those things look so cool! This thing is more than I will ever need...

It's either a 93657 or a J134, it wasn't my favorite frame design but a quality jack regardless. If you need any parts/kits give me a shout.

Don't know what to tell you. They called me and told me I could pick it up anytime. I was there within an hour.

Well, sadly the jack sat for 2 years before I started working on it. A few weeks ago I set out to fix it. Didn't take long before I encountered a major issue. The shaft that the lift arm pivots on was no longer a slip fit into the bushings in the frame. No matter how much PB Blaster I used and how many time I hit it with a sledge hammer, it wouldn't budge. I finally decided to just cut it off between the frame and lift arm press it out of the frame. In the end it took 8 ton of pressure to break it free. I decided I didn't want to replacement to end up the same as the original, so it is no longer mild steel...it is now 316 Stainless!

We have two of those old jacks at work and they still work fine. They're between 30 and 40 years old. Keep going, let's see it fixed!
