cparktdCool old tool.
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.

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

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

1s1kWhy 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.

Tuckerrnr1Bet it still wont roll over a zip tie. Really cool find, even I would jump at $25.

That’s the first thing that came to my mind as well!
