    3 ton floor jack - creeps down (with some clicking noise)

    I’m going to be Honest, I have never seen that style of “quick lift” configuration, thanks for sharing. If there is No handle feedback, it’s 3 possible locations. 1. Ram seal is compromised. 2. Release ball/seat is compromised. 3. Overload is Light for Load and or seat is compromised. Left to...

    Blackhawk SJ3 Floorjack

    It sounds like an issue with upper ball/seat on the speed side. How are you determining that it’s the “power” side that is releasing on the return stroke? It sounds like the power side is sealing, hence the pressurized oil released when you pulled the valve cap. I’m assuming the lift arm was up...

    Walker 99 bumper jack

    As long as it Engages at every Dog on the way up, and disengages as it moves past to the next one it should be correct. It should need to be manually disengaged to lower completely, which should require you to raise the lift arm to take pressure off the dog and then depress the flipper and...

    Walker 99 bumper jack

    It’s hard to tell from the picture, but it appears the catch mechanism or the catch flippers themselves are upside down.

    Seeking Help to Price My Snap-On Toolbox

    Good luck, expect to be disappointed. Start high 60+% of retail and let the market dictate the final price. I’ve never purchased a New SO box, but I’ve read that during promotions they can be bought near 50% of retail New.

    50's-60's floor jack identification help

    I’m not aware of any guides or videos on these jacks, I think it’s a SJ-4 but Hydraulic Parts Supply in Sawyer KS can distinguish between the two based off the Ram diameter. PDF

    50's-60's floor jack identification help

    It’s definitely more user friendly than say the S series it replaced, in regards to rebuilding. I never was a big fan of the SJ series jacks, it was Blackhawks big Hoorah before everything went imported and they just tried to make Money off the Brand. As always, Before you fork over the Money...

    50's-60's floor jack identification help

    It’s either a Blackhawk SJ-3 or SJ-4, a side view picture would help me judge length and determine, Definitely not from the 50-60’s, I believe the SJ series came in the 70’s.

    Snapon YA642 Rebuild Issues

    A couple things, I’m not sure what a C-cup is, secondly that YA-642 was produced during the Lincoln era, regardless Lincoln nor HW is Manufacturing Hydraulic seals. I will add, the Ya-642 depending on series, used two different sized Ucups. I don’t recall off the top of my head what the series...

    Allied 2 ton floor jack bleeding?

    It’s a little late now, but bleeding isn’t done via any valve plugs, it’s a simple process of flushing air that’s in the valve system and allowing any build up of air to escape via the reservoir fill/plug on sealed units. The first jack is 35+/- years old, the immediate problem is more than...

    Fixing my transmission jack and engine hoist… hydraulic cylinder seals

    The Oring/Shell in the OP’s picture was utilized to strictly control the longevity of the product, versus the traditional Ucup. The Majority of the Lift equipment in todays marketplace is spec’d to at Min make it thru the warranty period. It’s not near as profitable to build lift equipment that...

    Hydraulic cylinder seal installation tool

    I’ve got a set, couldn’t tell you the Brand or the last time I used them. The reason I purchased them was because I had a large pallet jack rebuild order and the brand utilized deep glands that housed the Rod cups.

    Down payment

    I guess if you can get that type deal, that’s OK. It’s not the Norm in regards to building Large structures/homes, but neither is 90% down. A payment structure needs to be addressed prior to signing a contract that benefits both parties, keeps everyone honest and on task. When the OP started...
