I got this little guy to break loose.  It now cranks from top to bottom.  When I get time, I'll blast and paint it.  Sometimes it's just the little things, but this has me pretty happy today.  :)

Nice. It is always a great feeling no matter how small the part is.
I just picked up a surplus one of these this weekend. $50 with a NOS WWII lug wrench that is unfortunately 3/4" and not the 13/16" that the 2A needs.
 
I have a question. The tab on the end is stamped "UP" and "DOWN." When I rotate it, it doesn't seem to do anything regarding the motion of the jack. What is the purpose? What am I missing?

think of the jack as a big turnbuckle, turn it one way it raises, opposite way lowers.

Micah, 

On mine, when I rotate the tab 90* so it stays pulled out, the jack disengages and free spins.  Tab in is engaged.  Crank it one direction is up, crank it the other direction is down.  I can only assume that is how it is supposed to work.

  It's a ratchet mechanism. You don't turn it round-and-round, you work it back and forth, like a socket ratchet. The tab reverses direction.  BW

    Amazing how we can find good-therapy and gratification from rust-works.

hahahaha

    hey, the snowstorm we had a few weeks back straightened out the turnbuckles on my carport canopy tarp supports. an overnight 12-inch snowfall.

    Nice work on the jack refurb, and another one saved from the bone-pile.

Bruce,
That makes sense. Mine must be broken. I don't get the ratcheting effect.

Thanks for that info.   I'll have to see if mine will ratchet.

Maybe it's got some rust in it. Maybe soak it with your favorite penetrant and work it loose.  BW

Bruce,
You were correct. Sprayed it a couple times with some penetrating oil and cycled it up and down a few times. She appears to now ratchet like she is supposed to.
 
The free NOS lug wrench I got was 3/4. 2A is 13/16. Friend of mine has a WWII Jeep and needs a wrench. So, I will pass it on.

I sprayed more PB Blaster in mine.  It's moving pretty freely, but still no rachet action.  Ouch

Part of your problem is that WD-40 is NOT a penetrating fluid. It is a Water Dis-percent, thus the name WD-40.

Try using an actual penetrating fluid.

Freedom21,

It that a CJ2A Jack or is it for something else?  I see that your has a square base.  The WWII Jack's have a rectangle base from what I have seen (again not sure what is correct).  Just wondering if you could verify or have any ideas.  I have one with the square base like yours but am not certain if it is correct for the CJ2a.
