Good job! I also just refinished a Swett 2-10. Not quite so thoroughly as you, but cleaned it up. I painted the '2-10' and 'Swett' lettering with black paint, it really gave it a finished look. (not sure if the lettering was painted on original) Be sure to lubricate the plate that spins on the top of the screw. I used a light oil with molybdenum disulfide for screw lubrication. Grease and heavier oil can attract and hold debris, especially near the bottom of the screw if dragged around under a house. Lift away!

I have an old 2 ton screw jack which is similar to this and you've inspired me to restore it. Thanks.
Beautiful. I can think of many uses for that.
It's sitting on a shelf looking beautiful currently, until I have to lift a locomotive or move a mountain. Thanks for the comment
