[@leehamer8147]

I worked at Charlie Brown tyre and exhaust fast fit garage over 30 years ago!! We sold the exact same jack as this from the retail shop for around £8.99 so yes it most definitely could be over 30 years old! Great video thanks

[@bizarreandbrilliant]

[@garymucher9590]

Absolutely perfect. Better then new. I like the acid cleaning and zinc bath. It look so nice, it would be hard to get it scratched now... Thumbs Up!

Very good video! Thanks for rescuing something from the past.

You made me cry =( You really love that jack...

[@bizarreandbrilliant]

I love Jack lol

[@johnduff6436]

Very nice work! Take care of yourself.

[@Thygon85]

This is better than new. Zinc coating was cool to see, really lifts those parts up. Also the restored drill was put to use. You cannot stall that baby easily.

[@paulelliott2861]

Nice one Martin. It must be so gratifying to bring items back good as new. Great job. 👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌

[@neerdowells1]

Cool to see the plating process!

[@chrismayer3919]

I expected to see a restoration video, instead I find you JACKING around! :-) All fun aside, TREMENDOUS repair job on that piece of old-school!

[@davidclark3603]

Absolutely brilliant Martin! Have you had your X-ray yet? All the best for the new year!

[@bizarreandbrilliant]

Not yet Dave, shoulder still playing up.

[@lord.onk99]

Another grand job Martin, well done & keep them coming.

[@berndb.5097]

...you cheating us....the last one is a new trolley jack ;-) It ever makes me fun to watch your restore videos. Happy and healthy new year. Awesome Martin !

[@can-I-fix-it]

superb restoration enjoyed every moment.

[@albertovalencia2222]

Que bonita demostración sin pensar me saco de una duda que tenía felicidades y gracias

[@TDIMAXDIESEL]

Very nice restoration!

[@Jim-ie6uf]

Great work and nice save! That’s a keeper for many more years.

[@bizarreandbrilliant]

Yes it is Jim, Always handy having a couple of trolley jacks.

[@rogeroconnor5182]

great job,here in the U.S. a jack like that can be had for around 20 dollars still. i have a couple of the older little jacks for riding mowers and atv,s

[@WereReallyRelayCamping]

about same effective price in uk, so unless your bored and want to make a youtube video lol. (then again, i just sat and watched it....)

[@barbarawiddowson635]

Another great restoration Martin, don't jack it in lol! A Happy Healthy New Year to you, Sharon and the kids.

[@bizarreandbrilliant]

Thanks Barbara.

[@colinsharp1314]

Nice job Martin happy New year mate

[@bizarreandbrilliant]

Thanks Col

[@Retired_Gentleman]

Excellent restoration. As good as, or better than, new.

[@brianmackie5479]

I still have one similar to that,I bought in 1976 and still in use today

[@CarlosGarcia-qx7lr]

Wao!!! Nice!!!

[@davidallen3162]

I've got the exact same jack. It jacks up then drops very slowly. I suspected that the oil seals are going on the ram. After watching this video, that's all I'll be doing. I don't have a zinc or acid bath or any of the other cleansing and sealing baths. Yours looks fantastic though, I must admit. It looks like I'll be investing in an O ring kit. Thanks for sharing the video, great job by the way.

[@bizarreandbrilliant]

Thanks Dave

[@AviationAviation]

A splendid job you have done it looks like a new pin well done pal

[@gc6347]

Excellent job. What kind of oil did you use?

[@MerlinZener]

Top job mate. I hate the thought of things like that ending up in landfill. Happens too often.

[@vespamorelli7090]

Another beauty Martin, came out fantastic. While I love all your vids I find something quite therapeutic about just hearing tools being used .... maybe it’s just my inner weirdo !! Love & best wishes to you and all your family for 2019 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tom

[@bizarreandbrilliant]

Thanks Tom, glad you like the vids. All the best bud.

[@HabaneroTi]

What did you use for replacement seals and where did you get them?

[@johnblackburn7673]

Brilliant job Martin. These little jacks are nice and light and really handy for just doing a quick job. It might be a cheap one but why waste it when you can do your magic for very little cost and save it.

[@sirjameshughmcbride8627]

Brilliant as always Martin 👍🏻

[@StuffUCanMake]

Cool video! May you have a Happy & Prosperous New Year.

[@buckneighkidd419]

Nice work, keep it up, thanks.

[@DarwinJC]

Looks just like new, nice job.

[@MegaJackd5]

Very nice indeed. I have 2 of this ize jack under my workbench. Might be time to give them a new lease of life. Looks like you have had a revamp of your workshop too. Well done, more room to work. keep them videos coming.

[@vwcol..7719]

Another good restoration martin😀👍

[@ianvirco5897]

I would have been so tempted to paint it a strange colour, like pink or purple, then 'mates' who borrow it wouldn't forget to bring it back. It did need the front wheels doing the same as the back wheels, either way around.

[@thealicemonster9217]

Great idea... I think I'll do that with my jack :D

[@scottfirman]

I wuit loaning out tools a long time ago. When they come back broke... that ends. Same goes for family. I dont let my tools leave the yard. Never again.

[@Esuper1]

Yep, I am doing it with yellow base with purple polkadots. Large and small. Tricked out!

[@justinh3540]

Love it mate idc if you have 2 subscribers never stop putting vids on here I’ll watch all of them

[@jackberry1919]

Top job Martin👍👍

[@jsof2]

Great job Martin. I've got a leaky one that's about 40 years old - I'll have a go too. Although not sure where to get main piston seal if it's knackered. Happy New Year.

[@bizarreandbrilliant]

Not sure John, I didn't need to change this one. It was as new.

[@MalcOfLincoln]

More parts to these than you first realise isn't there. Happy New Year Mate 😊👍

[@bizarreandbrilliant]

Haha, yes there is Malc, all the best bud.

[@Georgeolddrones]

Thanks for the video. Excellent 👍🇬🇧

[@eltallerdejohnys]

Holaa! Alguien sabe para que es el tornillo que tiene el tapon rojo??? Gracias!

[@potatosalad5355]

Ese tornillo es el regulador de levante de el gato ....se ajusta en la fabrica y no hay que tocarlo porque puede quedar mal ajustado el gato y es muy peligroso....

[@keithsmith4080]

Good detailed video, seemed long and drawn out, lack of music or voice over interaction. Thanks for sharing. I would like to see more about setting up the chemical and plating baths you used.

[@bizarreandbrilliant]

Here's my set up video on my other channel kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqfKi2ZnoNGAjNE

[@gwbbatt2886]

Did the jack work be for you cleaned it up

[@bizarreandbrilliant]

The seal I replaced leaked before.

Great vid as usual Martin. Was wondering how you keep warm in the cabin ?

[@bizarreandbrilliant]

I got a calor gas heater.

Thank you for posting this tutorial I was about to bin my trolley jack because it doesn’t lift as good as it should do you have a link to where you can buy the seals kit

[@ironhorse19]

Excellent video. Very informative and easy to follow. Many thanks for sharing

[@puffyjet]

A great video martin very interesting i really enjoyed it. I loved all the zink work and the trick with the vinegar. Have you done any more on you cordless drill did you get another charger yet ? cheers

[@bizarreandbrilliant]

Not yet but I got another drill for the moment but I will get a new charger.

[@renespitz9886]

I've attached the tube for pumping the trolley jack directly to it by using electrical installation pipe clips, made from plastic. I think you can also use these tool holders, shaped like an open-ended bonbon. Just as a suggestion :)

[@TheCyborg100]

Excelente....Trabajo.....👍

[@geoffhollins4998]

Nice video I have the same jack. Where did the ball bearings come from. I tipped my jack over and they both dropped out I can not find where they com from now.

Looks great Martin, I’m surprised the oil had sludge in, I suppose it accumulates moisture over time. Cheers.

[@bizarreandbrilliant]

Haha, yes I have lol.

[@garrynutter860]

Ive got the very same jack and it wont go up under load. Where did you get the service pack from ? Thanks..
