Re: [MBZ] Need a good floor jack?

Most of the 2 stage HF jacks are aluminum and blue. In the first stage, with low load, the jack goes up very fast. Maybe only a couple or 3 pumps. Once it hits a load, the pump shifts to the second stage, the high pressure stage, and then the jack only goes up maybe 1/8 to 1/4" per pump.

take it apart, clean up the parts, replace the Orings, and if it needs a new cup, take the samples to a hydraulic shop that fixes cylinders. They should have the parts you need, or at least be able to tell you where to get them. If metal parts are badly worn, then you have to make other

Re: [MBZ] Need a good floor jack?

I have a huge old floor jack, it must be cast iron or something, it weighs about 200lb, I got from a friend when her father passed. It leaks but works, I have had the idea over the years to fix it. I vaguely recall discussions of this over the years of the list. What is the best approach --
