sorry @NewShockerGuy I didn't see your post I'm sure you figured it out.. I have this one as my left post moves faster than the right as the right has a longer hose... https://www.amazon.com/Hydraulic-Line-Adjustable-Variable-Control/dp/B07N98PPCP/?tag=atomicindus08-20

I used the seals from HCRCrow and they fit the MX6 fine. Getting on of the seals one was a pain but heating the seal in hot water and then using a little trans fluid it eventually got on there.. https://www.hcrcnow.com/shop/seal-kits/product/77906 the main seal was in bad shape, the lower...

I have a 2016 Maxjax mx6, they harder the stops rather than the bars. Does anyone know if the original seals fit or if anyone makes a kit for the mx6 ?

Looks great , How is it mounted, new holes ?

oh yes a million times, had this unit for nearly 8 years.. it had issues within about 3 years, I put the adjustable flow valve on in year 4 and its been fine, just sometimes tedious to adjust if I've moved it.. I had considered getting a new flow divider but they are not cheap and I'm not 100%...

Do you have an adjustable flow valve too or is it just to monitor them ? I had to add a flow valve as one column was always faster than another but I do it by listening to when it hits the locks, the gauges looks like a worthy upgrade

Mine has the auto locking, had to go on the side of the column. What are those gauges ? Hydraulic pressure ?

Ha! If it works the way you’ve done it it’s perfect. I think I enjoy building things more than I like using the finished product ;-)

sure.. I probably need to take better pics.. I use fusion 360, did a bunch of the videos on youtube to learn it over the last few months.. the left post is just to mount the unistrut and potentially accessories like the pad risers the right post supports unistrut and the pump on a cleat...

Moved my lift into the new shop. Had a couple of things I had to figure out 1) I needed to run the hydraulic house above the lift, but in the new shop, I have a large ceiling fan, so can't hang it from the ceiling 2) I wanted to mount the pump on one of the posts (it was on the wall in the...

So decided to check the threads in the maxjax epoxy anchors, the instructions state they are 5/8 - 11 and I bought some class 5 bolts. But when I tested they stopped threading after 1/4 “. So tested with different bolts and they are 16mm x 2.0. Grrrr. So going to pickup some M16 x 2.0 x 40mm...

So now I'm confused about these epoxy anchors and may have to go back to wedge anchors. I have a maxjax MX6 which states 4" concrete at 3000 psi or greater I have 4.5" concrete slab with rebar and fiberglass, 5000 PSI. The wedge anchors are 3 3/16" long The epoxy anchors are 6.5" long...

I am moving my lift to a new shop I built (if it ever passes all the damn inspections argh). I got the maxjax expoxy anchor kit but I'm using the Simpson Strong-Tie SET3G22-N - High-Strength Epoxy Adhesive instead of the stuff that came with the anchors in the box. I've used cheap epoxy from...

yeah, will use some aluminum angle when this one breaks :)

I ended up 3d printing a mount and adding a magnet.. it works for now, will do a prettier version in the future when it inevitably breaks ;)
