Occasionally, on ebay. FM
Where are you? These would show up occasionally at country auctions in Iowa a few years ago. Price was highly variable. I'm currently working in San Francisco and the local railroad museum has more tools and equipment donated to them than they can use- they sell this off as a pretty profitable sideline. Possibly a smilar museum near you could help out. Just a suggestion, Andrew
Do you mean a trackjack or a lifting jack? In either case check with mine / mining supply stores. They use both in the mining industry. I don't however think you will find a deal on one unless you can find a gypo miner that's quitting the business.
Good Luck, tHAT
i just now these jacks as railroad jacks, if anybody comes across one and it is resonable let me now
What are you talking about "resonable". I have been to several railroad auctions and jacks like the smaller Simplex and such will sell for between
50.00 and 125.00 depending on condition. I have seen them sell for up to near 200.00 bucks if they are really nice. I recently picked up a cast steel railroad jack in pretty good condition and ended up paying about 70.00 for it. Fortunately there weren't any railroad jack collectors at the auction.tim
Do y ou want frogs with that?
Hey Asp,
I don't know what you would consider reasonable, but I'm pretty sure Harbor Freight has them on sale right now. I saw them in Detroit the other day, but paid no attention to price. ...Hmmmm.... Or maybe it was Princess Auto in London?
Take care.
Happy New Year.
