Just went camping and came home to this on the front steps. I assume the family of the original owner found this in the house and dropped it off but they are not around to ask. Is this everything? Is there a handle or something that goes on the bit you turn?

The later jacks 75-76 had a two piece tongue that went into the jack hole. Great for completeness but don’t use; they’re very susceptible to slipping (small foot plate) and bending. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)
