Anyone out there know what the Humber Jack looked like? Am assumuing it was quite short, possibly 3 stage screw type, with 2 piece handle. Is there a ferret Jack? are they similar? Heeelp.
Our recent rains have meant that each time we take the Humber out, this happens... Rich.

Thanks Clive,
Been feeling like Sherlock Holmes deducing what Jack was like from the mounting strap and the handle brackets. Have been scouring the swap meets for something along these lines but to no avail, good to know that I am on the right track, and will keep looking. Must be a short heavy sucker. None of the Humbers that I have seen or heard of over here have one. Don't suppose you have a picture of one? Best regards Rich.

As this is a 1960 VAOS notice that only a few items have so far been NATO codified. Although 4 ton jacks are codified the illustration still bears VAOS designation. The retracted height differs in the illustration, although on mine there is a thingy that slides on the top to extend the height a little & gives a narrower platform, which might explain the difference.

Fantastic,
Thanks Clive. Good news is that I do not think I have ever seen one of these before, which means I have not picked one up and then put it back again. (Really hate that) Bad news is that I have never seen one of these before, which means they are probably as rare as hens teeth. All I ever seem to find are those blasted Universal Carrier Jacks. Regards Rich.

Rich they are not that rare over here. What I like is that it is not dependant on hydraulic fluid or the integrity of oil seals, just old fashioned mechanical reliability.

Common Carrier jacks
Richard, I trust you're doing the right thing with the carrier jacks and putting them in the scrap bin to make sure they become rare.
