Thanks, I couldn't tell what was after the j but I figured if you'd was a 4 ton and ended in 4 and mine was a 2 ton I'd try googling j-132 and that's what it is.

Howdy, Can anybody tell me what model jack this is. It was given to me about 40 years ago. I was working at a service station while in high school and the guy sold out to a convenience store. He had already sold all his tools but the jack so I spoke up and claimed it. It's a walker and I'd...

Excuse my ignorance but what does FG stand for? Tom

Good idea, the inside of the columns and the cables are my big concern. If I was careful and just pulled to trigger when pointing at the undercarriage, most of the mess should be contained to ME, the top of the runways and the floor which isnt a big deal as I wash out my shop a couple times a...

Howdy, Does anyone pressure wash under their car while on a 4- post lift. I am restoring a 68 corvette, I was trying to avoid a frame off, frame and birdcage is solid so i was planning on just cleaning the undercarrage and painting. Not something im planning on doing on a regular basis. I...

Howdy, Had planned on getting over the blow of buying the lift, then buying a bridge jack for it but couldn't stand it. Was ready to start a little project and needed wheels off so i went ahead and bought the jack and built a sliding jack tray. As stated by everyone else, the jack was pretty...

Howdy, Started on a lift quest a couple months ago and after reading almost ever post about lifts on the forum, i decided on a Bendpak HD9XW. Finished the install last night, haven't really used it per say, but pulled truck on it and raised up. Seems lot more stable than i thought it would...

Howdy, I dont know what I would clearcoat it with, rexthane or something like that is what I had first thought, but if I am not wrong it is a urethane based clear and that would defeat the whole purpose of using epoxy to stat with. SW doesnt offer a clear in the tile clad and I would be pissed...

Actually I talked with the SW guy and we de cided that if indeed I was to scratch it, it would probably be easier to fix without the clear. Maybe a bad call but made enough sense to keep me from it, plus it has pretty good sheen. Another thing, although the concrete is new it looked like ****. I...

Thanks, but let me clarify something I didnt paint the graphics. They were done by a girl I know. She done a great job, she penciled it out and freehanded it. LOL I think I broke her from painting epoxy, she said and I quote "Cutting that stuff like spreading cats*#t with a toothpick" nafarmboy

Just finished my floor. Three medium coats of Sherwin Williams Tile Clad without any clearcoat. Little more texture than I like but maybe it will keep it from being to slick, it shows much more in pictures than in person and has a nice sheen, dont think anyone will notice the texture with the...

I had just talked to the guy when I posted first and was shocked that he was competetive with the online dealers since he was local. I got a little excited but I have read some post since then comparing the revolution to direct lift pro park 9, seems like same lift. Derek Weaver sells The...

I have been thinking about buying a 4 post lift. I have read several threads on here about Bendpak and Direct Lift and several others. I just found out there is a Rotary dealer in next town onkly about 20 miles away. I called and he said he could sell a Revolution RFP9 installed with drip trays...

Hiball, Sounds like a plan. I just built new garage at the house and have a plate full of outside projects, so jack may be put on winter list but when I start it up I will give you a shout and we will decide if I should attack it or send cylinder to you. I would imagine the latter would be the...

It was bought new around 1972 to 1975. It is a Walker 2 ton 4 1/2 to 25 (I think)inch lift range. It has a tag but the middle numbers are rubbed off looks like either J432,J430,J480, or J482. Dont know if that helps. It has been in the dry and the rust is just surface rust, frame is still very...
