Craftsman jack issues

[FarmerWill]

I have a 3 1/2 ton craftsman floor jack the wife got me a couple of years back and suddenly, it's developed a leak.
With Sears out of business, is there a source for parts for these and has anyone rebuilt one?
TIA!!!!!!!!

I bought a Sears Craftsman 3 ton jack from my local Sears right before they closed their doors. Within 6 months, that jack couldn't hold a load long enough to position jack stands under it. The Craftsman brand isn't what it once was.

For DIY use, I recommend HF's Daytona 3 ton DJ3000. I've had mine for 2 years now with no problems. This is the floor jack that Snap-on sued Harbor Freight over for copyright infringement. Excellent jack that you should be able to get for around $200 with a coupon.

It would be helpful to you to find a model number. This might give you a start:

There are other hydraulic vendors out there to make a price comparison, but the above website I’ve found to be the most internet user friendly.

Farmer Will, Here is the parts source for the CM jack, the PDF for the manual is bigger than the site allows. I have pasted a link to the manual I used below as a potential reference. Frank

You could try to enter a product number here. Sears doesn't make anything themselves so whatever vendor made it should have parts. I've done it with air compressors and other Sears stuff. http://www.ereplacementparts.com/craftsman-hydraulic-jack-parts-c-158286_160075.html
