1930's Screw Jack Saved From The Junk Man - Perfect Restoration
Ойын-сауық
Welcome to another fun little restoration project that the whole family can enjoy. This time its the turn of this 90 year old Lake Elliot screw jack that i managed to dig out of a barn that was getting renovated. Very little information is out there for this particular jack all I've managed to find out is what I could find on the classic British jack website the info is posted below.
Lake & Elliot N17080
Description
This is a 2 stage screw jack. On one side is cast N17080 and on the other LAKE & ELLIOT LTD BRAINTREE ENGLAND. On top of the winding bevel gear is FABRIQUE EN ANGLETERRE suggesting that this jack may be for a French Vehicle. It is 8.25" closed. Information that has come to light says that N17080 is a Ford stock number for Fordson jacking systems.
Applicable Vehicles:
Fordson tractors built between 1931 and 1945.
Jack Handle Type:
Rectangular bar.
So anyway I hope you enjoy this little restoration and will join me again next time for another fun filled project.
Enjoy
RRC

Better than new!
The amount of craftmanship is stunning!
Job well done.👌👌👌
Brought back great memories of helping my father in the garage in the early 1970s. I saw the rusty starting piece and thought yes, but dad's was green. Then you painted it green and I have such a smile on my face. Thank you.

I agree completely. Screw Jack. Might be ninety years old, but there's no excuse. He knows what he did.
Love the wet sandblaster and cabinet
Bloody Nice Mate👍
Lovely restoration 😍😍😍

A nice way to watch a Scotsman restore an English product on the day of the coronation of King Charles :).. Thank you maestro...
This green is making me blind 😂😂😂 Good work man. 👍💚😎🍵
A Million Bucks!👍🙃
Wow! Best ever.
One of the most restorations ever
I'm old now but I can still smell the metal milling, the sanding the satisfaction on a part well made. I'm retired but younger people tell me the machines I worked on still function years later. I will never be famous but I did make things work.
Very nice! Shoot I used to own one of these. Now I wish I’d kept it
This is a very useful video for me. I have a very similar jack in a similar condition thanks to a leaky toolbox in the back of my truck. These jacks are old school but they're not throwaways, very strong and reliable. It's always good to watch someone else do a job like this before doing it oneself, even if it is straightforward. Thank you.
WELL DONE!!❤❤❤
I knew there was something before hydraulic bottle Jack's and bumper Jack's. Amazing job. Ingenious device
very nice bro

@@BettySwollocks13 Odd reply, there may be others on par, but this and other things he restores, he restores as close to new as possible. That CR250, that was obvs way more complex than this, was done to perfection.

I'll agree with @Betty Swollocks there are better restorers out there when it comes to this type of restoration, lets face it we are all thinking of my mechanics and to be fair he is a professional machinist with full access to lathes, mills, forges, etc etc and he is fully set up for this type of work where as im a professionally trained painter and mechanic so I think on work like this i do ok not he best but certainly not the worst and as @Halfdead Rider mentioned when it comes to my car and bikes restorations they are top notch as that's where my main skill set and workshop setup allows me to shine.

@@RRCRestoration I still kind of disagree though, simply because there was nothing more needed to be done to improve the jack. Sometimes a restorations can go too far, especially on an item like this, but of course that can also be subjective.

@@BettySwollocks13 Not too clever tbh!, the guy said the channel is the best, not that he is the best restorer. Also you did not simply say he wasn't, you said "there are some far better restorers out there", not exactly true, so yes on levels, an odd reply!
Beautiful result.

Lovely restoration. I am always impressed with the paint finishes you achieve on your projects. One would be forgiven for thinking the finishes were achieved by means of powder-coating. Thank you for sharing, all the best to you.

I love how very organized all of the tools are! My Grandfather had a large collection of tools, but it was near impossible to find anything as it was not organized. Sadly, my Father was worse. It was faster to just buy the tool needed for a specific job rather than waste hours searching to determine if we already had it _somewhere_ .
Stunning result! Love the classic green.

You pay attention to the small details and strive for the perfection of the restoration, I enjoyed it very much and joined for further viewings in the future, well done
Mate quite simply, that is a sensation restoration, absolutely beautiful - fantastic job.
Super nice job , museum piece at least. Shame the handles always go missing.. I have a few old jacks but never thought of doing what you have done.
Wow an actual quality restoration!
