Thanks for the info. I actually did call up Tuxedo and was quoted $584+150 shipping. Local Hydraulic shop would have to quote price if they would machine a new barrel but would need a seal kit anyway so going to be much more than the $730+ for a new one. Just not sure if I want to spend the $...

Cylinder not repairable, need entire hydraulic unit....oh well guess taking 1700 lbs of steel for recycling

Picked up a Tuxedo 4 post loft (FP8K-DX) over the weekend. It was still bolted together in original packaging but was missing the hardware kit and power unit. I believe it has been sitting since 2017. Anyway pretty sure I made a mistake on getting it. Picked up some of the hardware and was about...

Seems like the 4 post would be the way to go for both storage and convenience on working on vehicles. Lots of options! Looking at the 8K lifts (Tuxedo, Triumph, Amgo, Atlas etc.) only hinderance is the price!! Prices are going up and finding used is preferred but seems like I won't save much in...

Thanks for the info. I may just have to look into 4 post lifts. I think I have 12+ ceiling and probably 10.5' or so clearance when garage door is open. The biggest concern I have had in the past is giving up real-estate for the 4 posts.

Sorry for the confusion, my bad. 4 post was not mentioned in my original post....made a comment that my search started with a 4 post when responding to his reply but currently not on the table. Right now I am considering mid-lift scissor options.

Thanks James for the post. My original search started with a 4-post. My biggest concern if I spend the $ on the mid-rise scissor is the added modification for narrow frame rails/body on frame, yeah the cross supports/creeper issue is another concern. I may have to revisit the mid-rise scissor...

I been actively researching and looking for the right lift for my needs. I have considered a portable 2 post lift (maxjax), Quick Jack, Kwick-lift (discontinued), mid-rise scissor lift (2 styles: open-center and the non-open center). I am a hobbyist that historically has done all my own car...

I have been researching what would be the best option for an occasional use lift that would fit my needs and was considering a mid-rise open center scissor lift like the Twin Busch TWS3-10E but hesitant to spend ~$3K new. This full rise Mohawk USL-6000 would be a great option if I can find one...

I know this is an older post but I just picked up the same v shifter ratched. Marked "japan".....can't seem to find any info on the manufacturer but it appears similar to the craftsman v shifter ratchet which has a different handle and made in USA Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

Thanks again Hiball....I think I may have spoke too soon. My test was to try and jack myself up (what was I thinking); anyway just put it under the vehicle and it appears to be working ! Holding a load with no apparent leak down. Thank you for all your help. Also this jack has screens that...

UPDATE: Well I finally tracked down, ordered and received the seal kit directly from Shinn Fu (took a while to get it shipped). Anyway I just got finished replacing the Ucup and back up ring and a few other orings in the kit (did not mess with the valves). Also replaced the pump piston oring...

I will try and search for the shinn fu part # (not listed in manual) and associated kit. The 24.5 MM I measured was actual dimensions of the Ram. I just measured the ID of the UCUP and it is also 24.5 MM (sits tight on the Ram). It sounds like I need a 40x24x10 ? Thanks.

Good point on replacing other O-rings, will start pulling and measuring them. I do have a schematic of what may be the same power unit Shinn Fu/Magic Lift 3 ton. Would you suggest replacing All the orings lableled C, F, H, and K..... in addition to "D" which is the UCup seal ? Sending PM...

Hiball you were correct. The main ram seal was coming apart. Thanks for the assistance ! I think unless anybody has any other suggestions I will swap out the Ucup and put in some fresh oil. None of the other O-rings appeared to be leaking so should I mess with them ? Below are some pics of the...
