dtdoerfler Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 I have a 1940 110 2 door convertible. I found a jack in the trunk. It is a green bottle jack about 6 in. tall that has a green hinged rod that you run jack up and down. It looks the period age. Is this the correct style jack for the car? Thanks!

West Peterson Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Is there a number near the top of the neck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Block Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 I not sure on a convertible 40, but 41 and 42, in a wheel jack, about half the sie of bumper jack and then a jack stand that slip under the axle after the car is raised up. I think it must of been some one idea to save metal for the war effort. Last one I found I pass along to a friend for is 42 180. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtdoerfler Posted September 18, 2010 Author Share Posted September 18, 2010 No, but there is a number on bottom of base. SJ 1863 and them a 17 below that. Thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen_Dyneto Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 According to Reedy & Shaub's book on Packard jacks, the green bottle jack was used for 1937-39 junior cars, and 1939-1940 senior cars. The 1941 110 was supplied with a bumper jack. The authors have given me permission to post the occasional picture from the book, let me know if you need it.

1935Packard Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Is the Reedy & Shaub book still in print, or for sale anywhere? Seems interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Mack_CT Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Packards42, when you say "I have a spare junior axle jack stand if anyone needs one $30 plus shipping." Do you mean the green jack for Jr. cars shown above? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wowabunga Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 No, but there is a number on bottom of base. SJ 1863 and them a 17 below that. Thanks for the help!I have a 1863 stamped jack for sale. Saw same 1863 one in a trunk of a Packard this year at the Saturday Hershey Car Show.This jack looks IDENTICAL to the jack in the Packard Tool Guide. Matter of fact I showed this jack to one of the authors Don and he tells me that it's written somewhere in the archived Packard design drawings not to pay attention to casting numbers as they changed frequently. The jack I have does not have any numbers at the top.Hard to find jack.... in 10 years of junk collecting this is the first one I've come across. There are maybe 3-4 other jack styles of similar model that look nearly the same: this one looks identical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owen_Dyneto Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 1935Packard, as far as I know the Reedy & Shaub book on Packard jacks and tools is still current, it was for sale by one of the authors at the Gettysburg National meet this past July. It's a bit more of a subscription that a book, it's a looseleaf binder for which you receive occasional updated or new pages. If you want one, I'd suggest contacting one of the authors: Don Reedy, 11910 Indian Lane, Hagerstown, MD 21740, (301)-797-6166. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
