Blackhawk floor jack.

[BroncoJAK]

There's been an old Blackhawk S4 jack in the corner of the dealership I work at for who knows how long. I asked about buying it and they told me to just take it. Still works, though it looks rough and may have had some alterations. Rumor has it there is a member here that is the go to guy for restoring these. Can some one point him out please?

Hiball has mega experience rebuilding jacks, and can get you parts you need.

CRDTI (spelling?) has experience, too.

Georgia Hybrid: ditto

I have exploded parts diagrams/parts list for that model.

Thanks Bull. Think you could be a little quicker next time?

Sorry. I had left the computer for a moment to go and get a drink.

That's a good read and helpful. Makes me think I should grab the other "non working" jack at work too.
