    Need hardware for my Blackhawk jack(s)

    Hey I now have 2 Blackhawk floor jacks and between them I am missing a few screws and washers. I am not sure how many other models take these parts but I will describe them as best I can. First screw I am missing for my S-4 is the one that holds on the aluminum T at the top of the handle. The...

    My new Christmas present!

    Good point. Can I change the title? I tried my hardware store. They have ton of hard to find screws, but these ones were not there. I was hoping someone may have them. I will start a new thread.

    My new Christmas present!

    Hey fellas, well after a long search I finally was able to locate a Blackhawk SJ-18 that was close to a relative. My father-in-law drove it out to me right before Christmas from Indiana. So I had pic of the jack ahead of time, and was told it was functional and well taken care of. I got the jack...

    found a Blackhawk SJ-18R, need help with logistics!

    thanks Hiball, Farmall. Hiball I will try to post a pic of the one good wheel. it is interesting this jack has the data plate on the Blackhawk cover. How hard would it be to locate another cover? do they usually place this data plate under this cover?

    Another Blackhawk SJ-18 restoration...

    Hey good work on the SJ-18. Did you need a press to get those bushings in? I have a nice s-4, but it leaks. I still need to locate a rebuild kit as well, but I was told by someone else that I need a press to properly install the kit. your input is appreciated

    Blackhawk S 4 floor jack

    that is a cherry lens. Where do I get a lens like that? Also how much for a replacement wiring harness? IS there suppose to be a spring in the battery portion of the handle? or just a spring behind the button possibly? thanks

    Blackhawk Aluminum S-4 cleaned up

    I found a guy on ebay that has a rebuild kit for an S-4, but he is asking $89. That seems a bit steep, is there a better source for a rebuild kit?

    Blackhawk Aluminum S-4 cleaned up

    No trailer queens here, my cars/trucks/motorcycles were bought to be driven= Same thing for the floor jack, I bought one to clean up and use. The red paint is already coming off the wheels from moving it around my garage. I would have tiled my garage floor if we going to be here long term, but...

    Blackhawk Aluminum S-4 cleaned up

    thanks for the help Hiball. Is the packing easy to come across? I looked closely at it when I removed the ram, I didn't want to get to aggressive with trying to remove the packing, which I thought was a large type of o ring gasket, or I would have a 100 lb paper weight if it ripped or didn't...

    Blackhawk Aluminum S-4 cleaned up

    thanks for the inside baseball with this jack. I did try taking a 1/4 inch drive extension and giving a couple taps to the outer (castle nut) which looks like it applies pressure to a round rubber ring that when the nut is tightened the rubber ring possibly grips the ram a bit more? this helped...

    Blackhawk Aluminum S-4 cleaned up

    Thanks for the kind words, and I appreciate the info. Only problem is since it is so old once I take it out, the jack is on non-op until I find a gasket. The shop that worked on these pulled up stakes about a year ago. The truck and jack are 2 different animals, but they do both look cool. The...

    Blackhawk Aluminum S-4 cleaned up

    It is going to take a while to wet sand when that day comes.... if the packing nut is the large castle nut for the pumping cylinder then I have tried tightening that up a little. I gave about an extra quarter turn. THAT is where the drip is though, how hard is to find just that rubber seal? I...
