Model T or A jack???
 

What have I got here?

I bought this jack on epay for a small price thinking it was a early Model A fliptop jack or a Model T jack. There is no hole in the flip top and I thought I remembered that that made it an early Model A jack.

When I got it and compared it to the judging standards there are a number of differences and there is not one marking or number on the entire jack. Also the jack sits a little off center length ways unlike the ones shown in the Judging Standards. No Ford Script!

It works beautifully and is in like new condition on the surface.
It is in such good shape I thought at first it was a modern piece.:confused:

I'm trying but having trouble down loading them.

if there is no hole in the top ,it is not a Model A jack
this type of jack was widely copied and sold through many outlets,such as Grand Auto,western auto ,pep boys etc
they are as common as dirt
,almost every swap meet has some
before you spend more money
I really suggest Dave Adairs little pocket book
it shows all the correct tools,and you can put it in your pocket when you go to swap meets
the first tool you DONT buy will pay for the booklet
its $10 pp

Also if you tell Mr. Adair what vehicle and year that you are interested in he will include on the back cover a picture of that vehicles complete too kit. A nice little custom feature. I have one of his books and never looked back.

I have a Walker B1 jack for my 1930 A .I have to do some repairing inside it.I need some pictures of how to fix it as some of the ratchet parts are gone.

WORTH EVERY CENT! When I bought my A, which was just a couple years ago, a friend in the T club gave me a copy of this book - everyone who I've shown it too swears they are going out and getting a copy. What was funny is I had a bunch of the tools kicking around that I did not even know were Ford...
