Jack and rim spreader
I just picked up this huge mechanical jack from a fellow that saved it from a metal recycle bin... I really wanted one of the small lift ones, but this one is actually long enough to reach the rear axle on my RPU , with a longer than normal bed.
Worked on my Subie too... Swapped out my snow tires!
The fellow threw in a rim spreader, as well, as he didn't have a use for it. Anyone sonlmewhat close to me (Petoskey, Mi) that could use it?

Re: Jack and rim spreader
Anyone have an idea as to the age of the jack? The only info on it that I have found is Pat(ent) 10 5 on the cross member between the two small pivot wheels.

Thanks! That's unusual for me! LOL!
Can you tell if the crank thing is a bead breaker ... Or a rim spreader? I've never seen it used either.

Re: Jack and rim spreader
Rim spreader. The hook part grabs the rim and pulls it in. It also pushes it back into place once tire is mounted. For split rims. I used mine yesterday.

Re: Jack and rim spreader
Very good. That's what I understood.... One is in classifieds..
Looks like it's labeled as a 'bead breaker'... Knuckle buster, maybe! Lol!

Re: Jack and rim spreader
They are your best friend on split rims. They can bend them if too much force is used. The 27 Im working on is that way. The spare tire will not fit on the wheel because the ends are bent in too much. Will need straightened.
