Looking for a C2 Ausco Type III (1965-1967) non-dated jack and wheel wrench. They started dating the jacks January of 1967. I’ll buy either the jack, wrench, or both. The correct wrench should have three .25” holes in the handle.

Shipping to Tucson, AZ.

Here is a picture of what it should look like.

Harry Ledgerwood will get what you need.

Sadly if this is the same Harry who owned H&M
Machine shop and lived in Missouri, he passed away July 13th. I did a Google search and an obituary came up. Sad.

I talked to Harry at French Lick on July 25th, he is in Kansas City area and advertizes for jacks in NCRS Driveline.

Great to hear!!! Thank you.

grantstigers

here is a type III
no date
it has been blasted and repainted
bottom is not pitted but scratches of paint off from shelf wear
top is not pitted but has a couple of octagon imbedment, probably from jacking up on a head bolt
you can fill it in if you do a full restoration
Jack handle as is with the oval slots
and does slide in the jack

thanks

How can I get ahold of Harry ? Looking for someone to restore (dis-assembly & re-assemble) a 1967 jack with the correct parts ?

Harry did an early 67 no date jack for me in last Aug. look for the cross hatch on the rivets.
Excellent service, product and communication.

Cross hatch on the rivets is not correct for Ausco. Cross hatch was only used by RH on the corvair jacks. Ausco also made Jacks for Corvairs and none of those have the cross-hatch or + peening.I am writing a paper to NCRS in this regard.

To further support this statement both RH and Ausco made Jacks for Mustang.
Take a look at a 65 Mustangs, Ausco Jack and a 65 Mustangs Ryerson & Haynes (RH) Jack in the picture below.

This is the Jack I received from Harry Ledgewood 4 months ago. No date cross hatchs on the rivets Ausco Type III jack. No deductions when Top Flight Judged in Sept.

My 66 which I have owned from 1986 and bought from the 1st owner came to me with its original jack. Rivets on it look exactly like the ones grantstigers jack has pictured above.

Corvette Members,

After extensive research on over 100 - 1967 Corvette Jacks we learned, every jack starting with 1967 production, GM made a change to replace four rivets so add stability. The change on Corvette Jacks started in 1967 production, and then the Jacks began to be dated in January 1967, and continued every month afterward. The change to the cross-hatched rivets on Corvette Jacks was 2 cross-hatched rivets on one side if the Jack Base Plate, and 2 of the same cross-hatched rivets on the other side of the Jack Saddle. It appears change was made it eliminate to eliminate the possibility that the smaller rivets could come apart and cause the Jack to fail.

Therefore, it appears that every Corvette Jack with the cross-hatched rivets, Dated or Non-Dated were made starting with 1967 production run. So if you have a Non-Dated Corvette Jack with these cross-hatched, we are given to assume it also for a 1967 Corvette.

These same changes can also be found during the same time-frame on Mustang Jacks, in the same manner, and going forward.

If anyone has proof to the contrary, please share documentation to support your claim.

I have an original 67 L jack left and it has the cross hatched rivet. This could also be used for an early 68
