Floor Jack Identification (again)

[junkle]

So I have my dads old floor jack (probably bought in the 1980's maybe the early 90's). It hasn't been used in years and doesn't work now. Barely pumps up at all and won't support any weight. Also seems to be leaking.

I am trying to find out what it is and if it worth fixing. I hate junking stuff but honestly have more projects than I want so I am kind of hoping it isn't worth the effort. I did some searching but couldn't figure it out. There aren't any id marks on it at all that I saw.

Yeah, it's filthy. Sorry about that.

Thanks,

One bump before I give up and trash it.

Have you found any tags or stamping numbers or letters anywhere? That helped me narrow one down greatly.

The color is like my Hein-werner I have. Also has a white handle

The color is also much like an Allstate (Sears house brand) I have that was tentatively ID'd as a very old Norco. Has some similarities, but no match... Might be a newer flavor.

The maker or distributor was called INTERMARKET. It is a good jack and the effort to operate it is slightly less than other jacks because it uses a bigger u-cup than jacks of similar size. The size of the u-cup is 40mm ID x 50mm OD by 6mm or 7mm height depending on what you can get locally. The pump piston should have an u-cup and an o-ring, sort of a double seal to take care of any leak by the pump piston u-cup.

There is an Intermarket brand but I do not know if it still is the same maker or distributor as your jack. The new ones seem to be rebranded American Forge and Foudry jacks (AFF). Anyway, I doubt that you can find a repair kit for it so you will have to measure the seals and get new ones at your local hydraulic shop. It should not be any more difficult to repair than any other similar jack. Just remember how the handle return springs are mounted and you should be OK. They were also sold as ATD brand and these were made in Brazil, so they should be better than a Chinese jack, picture below (posted here before by another GJ member).

You could check with BLACKHAWKPARTS.COM, they list Intermarket and ATD as brands they sell kits for but I do not know if its is for the old jacks or for the rebranded AFF jacks. You may need to send them a photo of your jack for proper ID.

I also have one of these jacks and cannot identify it. I need a seal kit and some parts. It looks like it may have the same pump as a heim-werner 93642. Any help welcome!

Hate to hijack a thread. Pun intended. But I have a 2 1/2 ton that looks similar to the one above.
Its labeled `big red` has anyone heard of this brand.? Or know of a kit.

I think there have been a few GJ threads on this particular jack. See this thread which may be helpful:

IIRC, it may also be known as an ATD 7300(?), it would not be the same pump as the current HW93642.

The brand is most likely Torin - this should get you started: https://www.hcrcnow.com/drawings/torin-big-red

There are only three or so possibilities for 2 1/2 ton.

I've found it , it's a Craftsman 1216. According to Sears parts direct no parts available. Does any one out there have any idea who made the jack for Sears?
