Sadly no. It's on the shelf for now, in pieces. I glance at it once or twice a month in passing, but I have come to conclude that this is a no-fix as it is. It seems that the cylinder is worn past any way I can install seals that would hold, and get the locking ring back in place without...

Hay, look at that. I'm on the map. :willy_nil (A bit delayed) Happy New Year to you all, from Norway!

Young Sir Thomas, please relax. You are under no obligation to stress on our behalf. We will not be at fault for crooked switch plates or unclocked screws just because you feel you need to update us constantly! Much better if you take your time, and do it properly. Aaand perhaps powdercoat...

Aaaand why in all that is baby blue is that lift platform not powder coated? I am loosing sleep over this!!! :willy_nil

I know this thread is OLD, but if anyone reads it looking for ways to keep their old 18v Dewalt tools alive after finding the horrid prices on XRP batteries, I would just like to mention that I recently came across some good news. Dewalt has a 20V MAX to 18V adapter coming out. They planned to...

Not sure if you mentioned it Thomas, and I can't determine it fully from the pictures, but just as a heads up, I would suggest using a PROPER tool for crimping the cable shoes. NOT ONE OF THESE: But rather something like this one with good jaws and a ratcheting lock (ensuring proper...

Oh and btw, if that is the price range for those cars over there, you all are hereby considered "insert-negatively-associated-word-here". Don't think one could get even a rusted-through piece-of-junk with a gazillion miles on it for those pennies here in Norway!

Oh yes there is absolutely a connection! Even I spotted your Ebay-handle from all the way across the Atlantic ocean, mr BB767! :)

Mine is still at a stand-still. Haven't been able to give this priority, but I might have a solution to the cracked cylinder-issue within reach.

Thought I'd let you all know the status, Beltsville Shell has been on summer vacation with me here in Norway, a couple of days back we took a trip to the beach nearby my place. On my way home now, all done with the book, so I'll ship it back to UK according to the flight plan as soon as I get...

:thumbup:

Did you see that, Joe?? TOOOOOOOLS!!:willy_nil

Another BTW, found this while googleing Ringueberg and Van De Mark, another jack, this one up for auction: http://131auction.net/auction/item.php?id=2232002 This one has the handle turned the same way as yours, with the release knob facing the jack. Mine has it facing the operator. Dunno what...

Oh, btw. If you ever come around to taking the cylinder apart again, please do take a bunch of pictures. Would be nice to see how it looks on the inside on that end... Would definitively help in the grinding process...

Nope. No progress on my part. Don't think I will either, at least not until after the summer. To much other stuff to be done during the few months of relatively dry and warm weather. Had a discussion earlier today about the jack with my colleague, we more or less agreed that the most sensible...
