Almost comforting, making a *common* rookie mistake!

Turnip shaped -- good description. I'm pretty sure it isn't in the hole as a pick goes at least 1/2" below the surface of the oil before hitting bottom.

I've put my Walker 93652 Series E 2 Ton back together again and it won't lift. Not an inch. To recap: I removed the hydraulic cylinder from the frame. I unscrewed and removed the release valve assembly. I unscrewed and removed the pump assembly. I attempted multiple times to removed the slotted...

Yup, Sunex impact socket from Lowe's, chrome-moly steel. I'll give this a try. Time I have.

Yup, the OP has said he usually welded up a tool for this task prior to trying the socket trick. Unfortunately for me, I don't have a welder or ready access to one. I'll give this one a try.

Re: rebuilding a two-ton Lincoln 93652 Series E jack: Got the 1.5" impact socket last week from Lowes, cut/filed it down so that it had the correct dimensions to fit the slots on the gland nut, hooked it up to my trusty Harbor Freight 425 ft/lbs impact wrench and six-gallon pancake compressor...

Were you using a Dremel tool or a bench grinder with cut-off wheel? That's the only way I can think of hand-holding the socket.

Gotta admit that hadn't occurred to me.

Thanks for the tip; I never thought to check Northern Tool. I ordered a Sunex impact socket from Lowe's this morning for about $6 less. I've got the grinder and the cut-off wheels and I'm looking forward to mounting the socket into the vise. Hopefully cutting metal away on the socket and leaving...

And, of course, you are correct. I took the hydraulic unit out of my Lincoln jack yesterday and was surprised at the length of the notches. The ram itself was 1.25" in diameter so I now realize why David's socket was 1.5".

That's the size I thought I could read off of the socket in the photo; what confused me is that when I did a rough "turn my jack on its side and roughly guess an eyeball tape measurement of the gland nut", I got about to 2.25" in width. That's *WAY* larger than David's socket size. I guess my...

I'm pretty sure I'll need to purchase a socket to be modified to attempt to take off the tank nut on my two-ton Lincoln 93652 Series E, manufactured late 1986. I haven't take the jack apart yet to accurately measure what size socket I'll need and thought I might ask what size socket other folks...

Good to know. I've found half-a-dozen places on the Internet that sell the seal replacement kits for the Series E; I've always assumed that I would purchase the appropriate parts from Hiball. ;) Thanks for the advice; it sounds really useful. Now to find a large socket that I can make the...

OP here. Looks like I may have spoken too soon about how my new-to-me older Lincoln jack seemed to work OK. I went to move it to a different spot in the garage today and noticed a small puddle of oil underneath where it had been sitting. Maybe the gland nut just needs tightening; maybe the seals...

Your tip about the yellow sticker solved which model number the jack is; a quick trip to the garage and a close examination of the yellow sticker on the side that only shows half the model number clearly has the info "Series E". Now I know! Thanks for your help.
