Glad I Saved It

I have an old Sears floor jack.

I bought it in 1991.

It lasted until just two years ago when it decided to stop lifting and start leaking oil.

The replacement from Northern Tools has decided to stop pumping except for the very bottom of the swing.

Today I looked for a seal kit for the Sears jack, expecting nothing like I got two years ago, and found a company selling the seals!

HUZZZAH!

The old Sears jack is an excellent piece of kit, very controllable.  It's not as low profile as The Shitbox Precious would like, but otherwise...

I am happy that I didn't throw my old jack away now.

UPDATE: The Strongway brand jack responded to air purge procedure that's in the owner's brochure.  Looks like I'll have two working jacks now.
