vintage floor jack identification help

[M.Bryant]

Hi all. I'm a new member. We run a small engine & equipment repair shop in California and are a dealer for Stihl, Honda, Briggs, Snapper, Husqvarna, D.R. and many others.

I had this jack given to me by a customer. I've done lots of searching and have found nothing. But it has led me here. The guy didn't know anything about it other than it was used and worked when he got it and now it doesn't. I imagine all it needs is a rebuild kit but the model plate is missing. I've tore it apart and the only thing I can find is the letters "R.D.RN.A" molded into the side of the lift arm. Does anybody recognize this jack model or maybe a rebuild kit that would work with it? I could really use a nice heavy duty low profile jack for doing forklifts and tractors. My current jack IS a forklift.

Fixed pictures.

Guess I had to make 5 posts before I could post pictures. They should be visible to everyone now.

Hein Werner Model L, It was a very short production run, Mainly because it wasn’t a very good design IMO. Anything is fixable, Soft parts can still be acquired, Hard parts will be a struggle and more than likely manufactured if needed.

Interesting design, sort of an "inline" hydraulic unit? HCRC has a drawing for a Model K, but not an L:

Thanks for that. My forklifts work great as a jack for most things but sometimes I just need a jack.

It had been assembled until today so I have everything for it. He said it worked before it had sat in his hangar for the last 15 years. The oil in it was still clean, all the pins are straight with no sign of wear and not much rust on it. Not bad for a free jack if I can get it working.

From what I can tell the "K" & "L" use the same seal kit? Do you know what the capacity is? And is there any trick to bleeding these?
