Blocks
Run of the repro blocks has now concluded.
PMs sent to all that was interested. I do not expect to produce any more, huge PITA. I enlisted the talent's of a Mennonite for the wood construction, a machinist for the plate and a gun smith for the markings plus a body man for the painting. Thanks to all for your support ! Now you know! See the pics. Cheers, Harris Last edited by B. Harris; 16-03-16 at 21:23.

I had a chance to view one of these first hand last weekend at the OMVA Spring Swap.
They are an excellent piece of craftsmanship and well worth the money. (free and unsolicited endorsement for Bruce)

What you are looking for is a Walker 925 jack. They are not overly rare, although there has been some discussion if the large round top is a requirement for the carrier. Some drawings in the carrier manual show the smaller one, and some whow the larger one. Personally I would say either or.
The smaller topped ones are the same ones as used on the CCKW and others of that vintage. They show up on ebay occasionally and I don't usually see them selling for that much money. They are also common at farm auctions and garage sales. The larger topped ones might be a bit of a hunt. Last edited by rob love; 17-03-16 at 21:43. Reason: Changed jack from 925 to 925.

While the Walker series 3 ton jack is frequently commented on through MLU, you may wish to consider a less restrictive search. As the T16 Universal entered the system, there are at least four variants to chose from. As 'never' and 'always' may not apply, a Hein-Werner HW-E-39A G166-0240248 jack may be easier to find than the Walker 925, or 926 small and large top hydraulic bottle jacks.
Look at the images in the tool page of any carrier manual, FUC-01, OM-2, FWC-OM1, FUC-03. The restriction of a large diameter top is not supported.
