A $50 4 Post Lift Center Jack? (Restoring an Old Trolley Jack)

New trolley jacks cost a small fortune, so I bought a rusty pile of trash, restored it and modified it to fit my 4 post lift. If you can't afford something nice, take something not nice... and make it nice.

Have you tried zinc plating your hardware? It's super cheap, dollar store vinegar and epsom salt, a roll of roof zinc from Home Depot will last years of Zinc plate jobs, and a battery charger provides the positive and negative charges. Evaporust bath works well to get the hardware really, really clean first too. Wire wheel doesn't seem to get into all the little pit holes on really rusty hardware sometimes.

I often use a battery charger to strip rust but have yet to use it to replate anything. Has been on my list of things to learn, perhaps it's time to give it a go. Sounds pretty simple.
