One interesting thing from the page Paul posted earlier, the notes refer to the plunger assembly #7 sold all together with parts starting with #8 (plunger ring), 18, 26, 13, 40, 44, 45, 7, and the cylinder. Looking at the diagram maybe everything is embedded/inside #7 and they just aren't...

Did you use either o-ring? I do see #1 in the picture embedded in #2 (the top cap). I assume you change that. The other one I'm referring to is from: https://www.hcrcnow.com/PDFs/Blackhawk_1_25_1_5_67401_SJ1_67402_SJ2.pdf Now I'm not sure what the difference between these two jacks is, but...

Ok, only thing left are the two big o-rings. Looks like one is embedded in the tank but; but I can’t find the other one on the shaft. Not sure if it disintegrated (unlikely) or if it was rebuilt before and not used. Anyone have a description or picture of where the other one should be? Sent...

I actually tried that first. Didn’t work. Then I got the big screwdriver with the hex sides and wrench... Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

Most of the ram cup is in a clump at the other side of the cylinder. But I get the idea of flushing to remove any tiny bits of residue. I’ll fill it with mineral spirits, shake it up and drain it. I have been using that parts sheet; and it didn’t say working valve, which is why I confirmed...

Also, which is the working valve? I'm going off the parts. Is it the valve with the big straight head screw?

The stringy thing is what I was referring to. Wouldn't that have come from someone removing the cylinder in the past? What would I clean with? I was only planning to replace the parts with what's in the kit. How do I get the pump off. Do I just remove the retaining ring and set the cap...

Not that bad. Looks like the plunger ring/cup fell apart, but otherwise ok. There also appears to be something falling apart where the cylinder meets the body. I assume from your comment about the reservoir to the body means I need to take that off. Tips on unscrewing it without marking...

Oh, and I assume you welded it together?

Haha, looks like a similar job. What size 3/4" socket did you use. What did you torque it to?

Oh, and Paul, I do realize that was you on the other thread. :)

Holy moly there was a heck of a lot of torque on that tank nut! First I tried the trick Paul came up with in: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=232242&highlight=blackhawk But the pipe wrench kept coming off when I put enough torque on it, so I resorted to quickly welding up...

Wow Slednut, that's pretty cool!

I have those on my gates already. The problem is that if the hoop doesn't come down, by dog is smart/lucky enough to put his fore legs on top of the gate and pull it open.

Thanks for the suggestions. I mucked around with what I have yesterday and figured that by putting in a thicker washer, it clears the wood on the post and doesn't get stuck. I did this when it was raining outside (with the wood being wet). We'll see how it lasts -- if it doesn't, I'll try...

Bendpak is in Southern California. Too far for me to drive and pickup. I'll try the shop in Hayward that was posted. They do have quite a few on their website and do installs, though they don't seem to carry Bendpak.

San Francisco Bay Area btw... Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

Anyone know of a good local place in the Bay Area that carries Bendpak? I went to get another one for my shop, but would prefer to find a local shop rather than deal with shipping. As several others have run into, I had to ship and swap the last time I bought one. Sent from my iPhone using...

Guillatine latch? Something like this: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-Black-Post-Latch-18109/202042254 Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

I have a gate in front of my house that uses a ring latch: https://www.natman.com/detail/v1132-small-ring-gate-latches-n197-129 I have a spring on the gate, and it always pulls the gate to the closed position, but the ring often doesn't fall when we have wet weather because the wood gets moist...
