I read some where and didn't mark it, (Duhh moment) that the machines that were being used to make them were falling apart and they couldn't keep a tolerance going. I couldn't verify if that was true or not, but for as long as they were made 3 tonners first then the 6 tonners came along, probably on the same machines (more wear, tear, and abuse) it makes sense to me. Gordy, you could check with them on the #'s to make sure, but I suspect they are OK.

Thanks Chas............ i assumed the arm had to be FULLY EXTENDED and then wobble in the hole...... Never thought that the TEETH on the arm could all be under size or no quality control from the factory... Sure was OBVIOUS when you looked at one disassembled... Now i need to check all of mine !! .......... but they are 20 years old or more.

Technically, you should also bend the tab, on the side of the bottom half of the JS, to eliminate side play, between the 2 halves...

Well, here is a picture of my "modified" 6 ton stands to get an extra 5 inches of height.. Probably had these 15 years or more. They appear to be the same ones he bought "NEW" in the movie.. Plenty of teeth engagement... No longer have stickers so i dont know the PN.
I wonder if they are built in TWO different factories ? the RED factory and the GREY factory ? ............ anybody have a BAD RED one ?

I traded in the 2 I had, today. Didn't have any others in stock, but I'm in no hurry, I'll pick 'em up when I see 'em...
