Default Tool information needed--Jacks
Does anyone have a picture of the Walker A-17080-A or Walker A-17080 B-1 jacks? I have the Ajax version but would like to see the Walker version. I know what is said in David Adair's book but would really like to see a picture.
Thanks--John

It does not have the reinforcing rib on the back.

The reinforcing rib on the back is present on the Ajax units but not sure they were on the Walker. That is what I am trying to find out for sure. Do you have a picture of the Walker jack with the rib?

What is the difference between these two jacks, besides the hole in the fliptop?

All Model T jacks that I have seen are of the screw type with a ratchet on the side that can be flipped for up or down. Unless they changed them in '27 all T jacks were screw type. John
