I'd clean it up and paint it green, kind of reminds me off an alligator.

Thanks prend3l for the links.

From what I understood (I might be somewhat good on writing and speaking, but I sometimes loose information when reading english) Remco started out in 52?
So my jack would probably be from somewhere around 50s 60s? Or is it even younger?


TheGrooveKing, haha, not sure if I dare. It might bite me in the ***... literally!!!

Hit up Hiball about it, I know he is the resident guru on hydraulic jacks. I am sure he would beable to help you source seals and parts for it.
