    Default Brute! Is this like the M715 stock jack?

    In another thread a few days back there was some discussion about a stock jack for an M715 and Jon, you described one you'd seen. Look anything like the two pictured here?:





    These are house moving jacks, as I was told, but I suspect they are probably more like old equipment jacks as they look smaller than the old house jacks I have seen in the past. Most of those were about 24 inches tall or better. These are 12 inch high bodies, and the threads will go up to about 22 inches of total height.

    I'm not Brute, but I'll jump in here anyway. Those are not very similar to the stock M715 jack, but those two are neat old jacks.

    I think Binford has an original jack. At least he has portrayed it to be an original, and I'm either convinced it is or have been coerced into believing a false statement of authenticity.

    That's the picture I've seen of the original posted above.

    I know the one Binford shows is correct...I had a chance to buy one in a package, sealed, that stated the FSN and all...I wish I had...

    Randyscycle I have two of those old house jacks laying around my house they are strong as hell. I used them with a couple 6x6's to jack my house up so I could put in a fixed pole.

    I know what you mean, I have used these to jack up all kinds of heavy stuff. They don't have a weight rating cast on them, but they will lift a Caterpillar D3 track off the ground!

    On the stock M715 jack, I'd assume you'd use the tire iron/lug wrench handle to operate the ratchet.....

    And I didn't get the lug wrench handle with the jack, so that's all I have of it.
