keiser31 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 I have used a BIG slotted screwdriver or a newer tire iron in the past, but neither of those work as well as the correct Dodge Brothers tool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olsarge Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Don't ask me to identify this, other than it's an old jack, or ask where it came from. My favorite daughter found it somewhere and knew I'd like it. If anyone can shed any light on it, go for it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite daughter found it somewhere and knew I'd like it. If anyone can shed any light on it, go for it. This may be missing a pawl, or something that hooks in the holes. Although perhaps it is designed to take the full lift in one stroke, without walking up the column. A similar (heavier) Australian version is the Trewallah Jack. Lifts wagons, trucks, railway lines, buildings, etc. I have retired this in favour of one of the new-fangled Hi-Lift jacks. Back to the OP. I'd be lost without my leg vise. I grew up with them, and still use it most days. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRK Sr. Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 James you have a winter storage axle jack, You need three more, then you can "jack" up your car and store off the ground till spring, Karl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olsarge Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Thanks Karl. Here in South Florida where the temperature often plummets into the 50s in winter I think I'll just leave it in the den as a conversation piece. Any guess as to the age? I'm thinking 20s or 30s.

Olsarge Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 5 hours ago, mike6024 said: Interesting. Antique cast Iron wagon jack, Elite Mfg. Co., Ashland, Oh. C 1910-20s. Base is 4" x 7", 18 1/2" tall, ( I know it's not the same, but it is similar, so Wagon Jack seems correct ) You guys are good. Seems it could be either a "wagon jack" or an "axle jack". Upon closer inspection it says "Ashland Mfg. Co." on one side and "Ashland O." on the other. It also says "2TS". I assume that means 2 tons. Karl you're also right about the missing piece. Something like a pin needs to go in the hole to hold it between strokes. It only lifts one click at a time. It will keep its prominent place next to the fireplace which also never gets used.

Olsarge Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Hey Mike, I think our jacks are near identical. That means between the two of us we have a pair. If you ever come to South Florida bring yours and we'll jack something up. 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sold one of those a couple years ago once I found the factory one for my car, sadly I think the BluePoint tool worked better. Here’s a picture of some of my Ford “Z” tools, the hub puller is in the top center. I also have several of the Stevens tools for the T Fords and a hand cranked coil tester on my bench that I rarely use but would have a very hard time parting with.

My favorite daughter found it somewhere and knew I'd like it. If anyone can shed any light on it, go for it. It’s called a tire saver. You fit it under the hubcap to hold your tires off the ground when the car is put up for the winter. A very early tool from the time when the snow was rolled and you used a horse and sleigh in the winter months. You need to find three more, it takes 4 to make a set. OOPS, I am a bit late with this... should have read the whole thread before commenting!

At least I can have a more intelligent conversation when people ask. Couldn't you just jack the car up the jack and put jack stands under it?

ryan95 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 This little hand vise sits in the top shelf of my to go toolbox. It is great for holding small parts, but its primary use by me is for clamping fuel lines. I am small engine mechanic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real Steel Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Its been a while since I used one of these for its intended purpose. These days I use them as backdrops for photos.

J.H.Boland Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 (edited) This old Chevrolet valve lash adjuster was given to me by our local Snap-On tool dealer , who found it in an old mechanic's stash of tools. It sure is handy for it's intended purpose. Made by the Owattonna Tool Co. of Owattonna,Minn.
