Four Ton Auto Specialties Jack and Handle

[m606paz]

Hi Jacques!

I am pleased to share information with all of you.
I hope they can reproduce a lot of handles
The piece that seems to be missing is a cover that touches the main body and accompanies the mobile part. A kind of bushing that keeps everything in place without allowing both screws to rotate and act.
I don't know if you understand what I am describing .... I have a hard time using technical words.

Hi Mariano,

Is the attached photo showing the part you are missing? I could not see a similar part in your photos. Not sure what it would be called myself.

Cheers,

No Jacques. An intermediate tube is missing...

And the upper part..... what is the name?

Hi Mariano,

That part is usually referred to as a "Saddle".
It might be difficult to reproduce exactly as it looks to be a cast iron/steel part or perhaps a forging. No doubt some clever fabrication would make a good substitute in any case.

Hi Jacques, thank you, this saddle rotate 360°?

[Jacques Reed]

Hi Mariano,

Yes it rotates 360 degrees.

The saddle on my smaller 15 CWT jack is 2" wide and 3" long. If the same saddle was used on both large and small jacks I can post a few close up photos and measurements to aid fabrication of a replacement.

Perhaps another MLU member can verify if the saddle on the 4 ton jack is the same size?

Cheers,
