1928 CHRYSLER 72

[31 LaSalle]

Would a Chrysler 72 have come from the factory with a jack

also where would the jacking points be on a model 72

If anyone has a picture of the jack could you post on here

THANKS

I don't have a copy of the series 72 owners handbook, but it will have a list of tools that were supplied by the factory with your car.

 My series 62 book  lists the following were provided:-

 1 wheel hubcap wrench

1 brake cyl bleeder hose and gasket

1 high pressure lube gun

1 oil can

1 tyre pump

1 auto jack with handle shaft and handle and wrench combo

 1 starter crank

 1 waterpump packing nut wrench

 1 floorboard lock key (roadster only)

 1 wheel brake wrench

1 each of number 1,2,3, 4 wrenches

1 adjustable wrench

1 pliers

2 screwdrivers, 1 hammer.

 If anyone can supply pictures of these original tools it would be appreciated, as I too have nothing.

Best regards

Viv.

Jacking points are under the axles just inside of the springs.

Jack under center front and rear hubs  and it does balance. Did many t at way. Yes dangerous and balance.

Early cars did not have jacking points, you usually placed the jack under the axle near the springs. With a floor jack you could jack from the centre of the front and rear axles. Never get under a car unless it is on stands, never on bricks. I carry a modern triple lift mechanical jack in my cars, with a block of wood.

I've been told to never jack it from the centre of the front (solid) axle, always from one side or the other. Rear axle (diff) no problem.
