Floor Jack missing data tag

[8cuda]

I picked up this floor jack at a garage sale for $2.00. The floor jack has no data tag. I would guess it is a Hein Werner, but not sure of the make and model.

I purchased Bar's Jack Oil that stop leaks at automotive store and filled the reservoir. It took half the bottle of the fluid.

I got the jack to pump up, but is it common that pumping action only take place when the handle is about 30 degree from the horizontal?

The floor jack must have been sitting outside for sometime as I notice some "blue tarp" remnants. Are there any servicing I should attempt to do, as I'm a first timer at floor jack repairing.

I did open up the check valve thinking it was the fill hole, does the rubber cap for the long spring needs to be replaced?

Hein Werner WS. The rubber plug aids in sealing the valve plug. 30 degrees is probably fairly close, it's simple to verify, just watch for when the handle assembly makes contact with the plunger.

Welcome to GJ first off
An old USA made T handle floor jack for $2 YOU ****.
You've already been in contact with our resident jack expert (Hiball), he will get you straightened out on that jack.

Thank for the warm welcome.

I guess I will test the floor jack on the wife's mini van, as it needs new motor mounts. I will use jack stands when working under the car. Hopefully the Hein Werner is safe to use.

Not a bad price for a non functional floor jack, hopefully I don't get the bug and start searching on CL for floor jacks. The wife will not be happy, as she has seen this with iMac and Plasma TVs.
