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

    I agree completely. Screw Jack. Might be ninety years old, but there's no excuse. He knows what he did.
  • Doesn't matter what you restore! It's always a pleasure to watch you work! Nice seeing the CR in the background!👍🏼
  • @mctavish101
    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 knew there was something before hydraulic bottle Jack's and bumper Jack's. Amazing job. Ingenious device

    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.

    RRC Restoration excellent work as always and really enjoy the channel! I have on the few things I restored I've left some of the over flash casting for character.

    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.
  • Nice job you did on restoring the old jack. It looks much better and works like a charm, too. Great work.

    A nice way to watch a Scotsman restore an English product on the day of the coronation of King Charles :).. Thank you maestro...
  • @ramiruhig5558
    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
  • You did an OUTSTANDING JOB bring back that 1930s jack. I have a jack which was my dad's very similar to yours which I will be restoring!
  • @prothewful
    Mate quite simply, that is a sensation restoration, absolutely beautiful - fantastic job.

    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.
