Default Auto Specialties Jack- Saddle

Hi Mariano,

Glad to be of some help. Here are a couple more close ups of the saddle on my smaller jack which may aid fabrication.

As a matter of interest, on the smaller jack the upper tube is 1-11/16" in diameter, and at the collar it is 1-15/16" in diameter. Wonder how that compares to the 4 ton jack?

Cheers,

Out of curiosity, I contacted the U.S. Jack Company about this series of Screw Jacks. They purchased the tooling for the older series of hydraulic and screw jacks from Auto Specialties in 1988 when Auto Specialties closed. The older documentation had also been obtained in the transaction.

Unfortunately, in 2000, U.S. Jack Company had a massive fire at their plant and much of the archive documentation was lost for these jacks.

The only likely surviving paperwork is now probably in Military Parts Listings and manuals that may still be around.
