    Blackhawk S-4 Restoration

    Any History on it? Rebuilt Recently? Anybody messing with the Valve components? It’s possible based off the design for the Power side to be compromised and not show immediate signs of leakage.

    Overfilled floor jack & bleeding

    I’m not sure what type of jack we are dealing with, but the problem lies with the Pump seal, whether that is a rod/oring seal or Piston type is yet to be determined. The pump seal does the transfer from the Reservoir > Valves > Main lifting cylinder, Based off your post this is where the issue...

    Overfilled floor jack & bleeding

    Still Unidentified Blackhawk Jack.

    Porter-Ferguson my collection has grown

    What pieces are you missing? I have quite a few PF porta-power pieces. I’m also curious to how much of a relationship PF had with Blackhawk in the Auto Body sector early on. I’ve seen Blackhawk sets that definitely use there pumps, Hard to tell about the attachments, but can’t help but think...
