Hein Werner Model M

[ReEngineer]

Hi all,

I recently picked up a Hein Werner Model M, a 2 Ton long reach service jack. Given the age it's in decent shape and i'm trying to figure out whether or not to replace all of the seals.

It was low on oil so i topped it off. Havent observed any leaks but since it needed oil, i'm sure they exist so i'll keep an eye on it.

Without a load the jack goes up all the way in 2-3 full pumps. With a load, it's extremely slow but does the job and it seems to stay up. My question is, does anyone know whether this is normal for this type of jack?

Here's a picture of the Jack in case it helps.

I did check the jack and it had 0 leaks from yesterday to today.
