American Hydraulic floor jack

[Applesauce]

Grabbed this today out of my grandfather's to-be-scrapped pile. I know nothing about it, and thought, "hey, rebuilding a jack could be fun..."

Only when I got it home did I realize American Hydraulic was actually made in Taiwan! Ah well. Anyone got any pointers or suggestions?

Hiball has threads on this topic. In fact, one is a sticky in this section. Look at the stickies at the top of this section and you'll see it.

Ha! Yeah...searching for "american hydraulic" only brought up a bunch of threads on what nationality of floor jack I should have bought. BS. Rebuilding this one looks like fun!

Looks like some of the newer Michelin jacks. Anything is easier to rebuild compared to my Walker ugh.

Whats with the Walker trouble Buger? I've recently done a few with no real hard problems.
