I did some more bleeding and heard more air escape when I loosed the fill screw on the side. It def worked better but is still harder than I remember. I was able to lift the drivers front corner of my F-150 off the floor and it held over night. Only dropped 1/4". Maybe I should be asking for...

I have the pump back together (for a second time, it leaked a little after the first). I have it filled with fluid and bled (I think). I can pump it up and release and it lowers. I put it under the rear end of my truck and it seems to have very little lifting ability. Pick up the read end...

I'm guessing there have been no Donkeys in there since it does not look tampered with. The factory did a good job Donkey-proofing that setting with the special screw. I have not tired lifting a load yet. I still want to paint the pump before I put it back in the jack. During the refill and...

I guess what I'm asking is if this is an indication that the overload is not working correctly?

What did Elroy use to get the strange adjusting screw out of the pump body??

I have rebuilt my OBoy and fixed the leaky check valve issue that I posted about in a different thread. I have another question. What is supposed to happen as you're pumping and the ram reaches the end of travel? Should the handle be able to be pressed through so that it lays horizontal? I...

Picture of damanged seal cup.

OK, I have that problem fixed. I damaged the cup for the check valve when I installed it. I reused one of the old ones and used some Permatex thread seal and it appears OK. If I may ask another question, however, what is supposed to happen as you're pumping and the ram reaches the end of...

There were two "seals" included with the rebuild kit. They looked more like little cups, wider at one end. I inserted them wide side down and screwed the plug down on top of them. In doing some research on this I read where teflon tape is not recommended. What about some PTFE paste or some...

I just finished rebuilding my old HW OBoy, 1-1/4 Ton. Filled it with oil last night and so far all looks good with the exception of a small amount of oil leaking from the two screws that cover the overload and check valve. Should this have been assembled with a thread sealant? Or is it an...

I like them too so I can tell at a glance if I am missing any. Other people have access to my tool box...

How are the wooden screwdriver blocks attached to the pegboard?? It is a thing of beauty!
