Hurst Jaws of Life Rescue Hydraulic Set w/5HP Motor Pump, ML-32 Spreader, Cutter

Description

You are bidding on a Hurst “jaws of life” hydraulic tool set. Everything shown in the pictures is included in this lot:
hydraulic power unit with 5HP Briggs & Stratton
hydraulic spreader (believed to be a model ML-32 or similar)
cutter
one set of hoses (green)
connector that allow you to run a total of 3 tools at once
This set was being used by a local high school as part of their firefighting academy.  There are expected marks and wear from normal training use but the set is in overall good condition with a few minor exceptions as noted – motor / pump has been sitting for a while and will only crank when sprayed with starter fluid. It will not stay running and appears to not be getting gas so I would assume the carb needs cleaning/replacing or gas line is clogged.  There are also 2 rubber feet missing from this but not a big deal.  Minor surface rust on the tools, specifically on the cutter, but this could be cleaned off and doesn’t have a real effect anyway.
Overall length of the spreader from end to end of tips is about 28 ½”.  Tips are about 6” long, and unit is about 14” wide overall.  Based on the design of the control to open and close this unit, I believe it is a possibly a model ML-32 but the sticker label is gone so I can’t be certain.
Cutter overall measures 31 ½” including the handle at the rear. It is 27” long not including the handle, and about 11” wide overall. Model number is unknown as the sticker is also missing from this tool.

before you bid
to ask for a shipping price. Too many times buyers win an auction only to find out that they are not prepared for the shipping cost. If for some reason I am not able to answer your shipping question before the auction ends, please do not bid unless you are prepared to pay the shipping cost. In order to get you an accurate shipping price, I need to know ALL of the following:
city
zip code
will delivery be to a residential or business address?
do you need a lift gate at the point of delivery or do you have a loading dock or forklift?
If you should win the item on the auction, I will also need a daytime phone number to give the shipping company. They usually call before they attempt delivery so that you can schedule a time that is most convenient. You will also need to have someone available to sign off that the item was delivered in good condition. Please do not accept a delivery on an item that appears to be damaged, as we will have no recourse once you sign off that you have accepted the package as it is.
I do NOT charge a handling fee for local pickup so please use that method if you can. Please email me at if you have any questions. Items shipped freight CANNOT be shipped outside of the continental United States.
