none taken but it's not unrealistic considering my location. 100 USD might not be much for you, but it's insanely expensive for us and that's not including shipping and customs (it would be akin to telling you the seals cost USD 6000). Like i've said, i'm not going to pay more for the seals...

Well... i'm not really having much luck on the forum with my questions, it's been a couple weeks and i haven't got a single response to any of my questions about the jack(parts needed, operation, etc) sadly, save for Roberts chiming in with the phone number. btw just called and they quoted my...

a yes i sent them a fax a couple days ago(complicated to make a phone call) but still haven't heard back :( ¿can i ask what was the cost of the seal kit?

Hello, i have a blackhawk S14 jack and i need a few parts: The release system has been butchered, seems like it broke and they couldn't find the linkage so they cut a hole on the top cover, cut the shaft in half and made a square socket to which a rod is inserted that ends in a release knob...

¿where did you get the seal kit?

Well i'm sutck on this, the local seal shop has no idea what to do with the seals and proposes replacing them with a modern thick ring seal made to order.... Couldn't get in touch with hiball either. Now i've sent a fax to hydraulics parts supply letsee if i get lucky ¿can someone explain to...

sadly i don't really have hydraulic shops i can take it to here, i have to do everything myself

Interesting, ¿can you tell me which part number is your power unit casting?, it seems very very similar to my S14, but mine has an external copper(maybe brass) pipe that goes from the pump unit seal pack to the oil reservoir, kind of like a pressure return line. But on all the manuals i can't...

yes i've seen his signature but my spoken english is kind of rusty to be able to make that phonecall, i rather contact via email and so far i've not seen that company having either email nor website, i'll see if i can fax them. In the meanwhile i'll pm hiball to check this thread still the...

First i should make clear that the scope of the restoration is "working order", after all we didn't bought this for the vintage status, but to have a working jack so i'm not looking for pristine as-new condition, only for it to be mechanically sound. As it is, it's "working" but leaky...

got a Blackhawk S14 jack, need info and parts Hello, as i stated in my introduction, my father bought a floor jack to work on our pickup, the thing looked quite old and in need of care(it does work!), it has been unused for years as well so i want to -at least- restore it to "safest" order...

and the fortuitous way in which i came upon this forum too

hope to put them on soon, without spamming the forum with useless posts jaja

¿heey what model is it?, it looks EXACTLY like the one i have(which i haven't been able to open a thread since i still don't have 5 posts), which is not exactly an S14 and i'm missing a lot of pieces/info
