Glad to get the thread back on topic.  I mis-typed Norco as Norma.  The 
71230 is the jack I have.  I love it.  I also have the 3 ton ratcheting 
jack stands.  The handle I welded on is in the style of the 5/10/20 jacks 
on the floor jack page.

Norco has a website but I can't find it right now.

The hyjacks site has lots of good info but I ended up buying my jack from a 
local company because hyjacks was going to charge shipping and the local 
company didn't.
