Once again you have the answer. It was overfilled and creating a vacuum issue (removing the plug made it work perfectly). Thank you!

Hello Hiball: You helped me back on posts #603-616 and you certainly are an expert at floor jacks! Thank you. Perhaps you can help me again? I'm the original owner of a Sears model 328.12001 1.5 ton floor jack (the green one - serial 159584043). It's been working but I've noticed when you raise...

ok thanx. My jack handle spring is also broken. Would you happen to have one (used is ok)?

I did the "flush the circuit" with no change. I tryed a hand impact on the working valve screw slot but it won't budge (note that it's never been off). There was visably no **** in the old oil. It was just normally discolored a little like you'd expect for 6 year old oil. Any other ideas on how...

Hi: I'm the original owner of a model 328.12001 (serial 137143019) 1.5ton floor jack from Sears. It has been working fine with no leaks but I decided to replace the oil since it's been 6 years since last time I did it. This jack is for home use and I don't use it a lot. I removed the filler...
