1935 Jack Repair
1935Jack.jpg
I have a '35 jack that has the upper portion stuck hard in the position shown. Can it be repaired and how is the jack disassembled? Thanks ... and Ford Barn's software keeps turning the jack on its side, and I'm not going to screw with it anymore. Maybe 'cause it's a "flip-top" jack.

Re: 1935 Jack Repair
Probably will need to soak it in acetone ATF mix for a week or two. If that don't get it loose I think I have one in the parts barn that I would sell. Would have to post pics of it to make sure it is the right year as I do not know the details of the changes year to year. Rod

Re: 1935 Jack Repair
I take it that there are no screws on the bottom like my 36 jack...that made it easier for me to take the bottom off . I did this quite a few years ago and can't remember what I saw. Terry

Re: 1935 Jack Repair
I had a more modern screw jack stuck like that. Had to put it in a press to retract it a little while turning and it broke free.

Re: 1935 Jack Repair
No screws on the bottom but I suspect that's the approach. The bottom appears to be "folded" over the body of the jack.
Certainly more soaking will help ... even total immersion to get the penetrant to the right spots. Thanks.

Re: 1935 Jack Repair
Used Lonnie's advice substituting some careful hammering for a press. It worked. Did not want to start tearing things apart. Now soaking. Thanks for all the advice ... every bit excellent.

Re: 1935 Jack Repair
Better. What caused it? Did not see how to rotate it in Ford Barn. Tried to give it opposte 90 rotation before uploading but FB still posted the same.
I post plenty of pictures ... curious but not bewildered.

Re: 1935 Jack Repair
Good job DD, definitely mo-better!! First picture posted looked more like a Porta Power , your corrected picture post now looks like a '35 Ford jack.

Re: 1935 Jack Repair
John, sorry that you were confused and thought it was a Porta Power. Could have used your help.
