First… Happy Thanksgiving!

Is this ~100 year old mechanical floor jack cool or what?

Non working but for sale on Marketplace for 25 bucks.
Might try to buy it but have guest today.
Seller made no comments on why it didn’t work.

How much would it lift if it was in working condition?

We had a similar, but larger and more heavy-duty, mechanical floor jack where I worked. I loved it.

“Complete but not working”

Great Man-cave decoration, if nothing else.
Messaged seller. He’s about 40 miles away.

PHPaul should be by in a few moments to take it off your hands.

Why would you care if it works or not. I don’t think I would trust something that old and rusty to lift anything very heavy. Maybe a lawnmower. I think that’s more of a wall hanger for junk collectors.

Looks like a good excuse to get a sand blasting cabinet, too.
