Greetings All -
I've got a bumper jack question that I hope to get some help with. I have read enough of the old bumper jack posts to know that I should never actually USE the jack , but I'm trying to confirm that I have all the correct pieces.
From the research I've done, the base, upright and the J hook appear to be the correct ones. My question is about the ratchet mechanism - - It does not look the same as what was pictured in a post here a couple of years back. The mechanism is stamped "A-A" (the first "A" is a little bigger than the second one) and US Pat No 2,962,261. The stampings are on the same side of the mechanism as the Up / Down lever.
The problem I'm having is that the J hook and the mechanism will not mate up properly - they are nearly exactly the same dimensions which prevents the hook from engaging.
All help appreciated.
