ROADKING, you are a great mentor for all of your young Buddies! I'm glad that you include them and their expertise in all of your projects. I'm sure they've learned many more things than can be mentioned from you. Great job Buddy!

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Fellas!! That Kid is a joy to work with or just hang with!!☺

[@smallenginedude71]

roadking has taught me heaps too, very informative

[@jbmbanter]

Me too! That's why I check for new vids daily. My notify just doesn't seem to work.

[@brianrb84]

Nice repair Roadking, good to see an old jack saved from the scrapper!

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!!☺

[@JimsEquipmentShed]

Its always nice to bring an older piece of gear back from the grave, I've got one of the newer ones now, and its no where near as good as the old jack I had years back. (It got stolen during a move.....)

[@805ROADKING]

Yeah We grew up during the last era of any well made equipment or tools!!☺

[@JimsEquipmentShed]

Yup, those days are over... :-(

[@steveaw5895]

That looks like the same jack my brother and I bought from Mac tools when we were in high school. That was 40 years ago. My brother is still using it. I lucked into a Montgomery Ward jack from the 50's. It's the best jack I've ever used !

[@budblanke9688]

It's a darn shame but lots of the new stuff you buy now looks so pretty but when you go to use it, it just won't cut the mustard! I got one of those old ones made back in the day, at least 40 years old, leaks a little and needs some TLC but it was made tough. I wouldn't trade it for 10 new ones! Glad to see RK is one of us who appreciate when quality was built into the product! Thanks for another great video RK

[@mirodeogrl]

You've got me needing my goggles again with those closeup shots lol. Great job getting it working again.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks alot Buddy!! You should know by now to keep those goggles near by!!☺

[@alecjahn]

Great work guys. Awesome jack and restoration!

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!! ☺

[@mjmcomputers]

Nice job! It's always good to have an extra floor jack around.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!!☺

[@artistben7]

Nice fix my Friend. I dam near spit my coffee out when you said" I'm going to leave it the way it is until the car falls on somebody and then we will fix it" PHEW!!! LOL

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Buddy!! Just a little comic relief!!☺

[@cyprusgrump]

[@Reasonably-Sane]

Nicely done guys! It's really cool how you get along so well. Thanks for this.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!! He's a great guy to hang out with!!☺

[@homerfj1100]

I cant believe you found those gears!

[@greenbaywacky]

funny I just buy a new one!! My favorite buddy is the low profile blackjack from Walmart for $114 - Its a 6000 pounder I take it everywhere got 10 years out of the last one just threw it and got another one again!! Lifts campers diesels everything real workhorse!! hats off to repairing this one!!!

[@goodnough1]

Probably wouldn't hurt to change the hydraulic oil. Re-did my old one , and refilled with some leftover transmission fluid, and it got alot smoother, and just felt better.

[@JoeKyser]

Bob G transmission fluid is a mild detergent so anything that was gummed up definitely was freed when you put that in there. Good thinking buddy

[@RobertPerrigoOkiechopper]

Nice work, both of my hydraulic jacks are from the Pawn shop, and were in new condition for a 1/3 of new retail cost. One is a Sears like the one in this video and the other one is a low profile, If I remember right , I got them both for around 55.00 dollars. Great 2 part video, Thumbs up .

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!! ☺

[@BigHeartedMan65]

I noticed that when he put the pin on for the jacking part he put it flat side UP . I would think it would go Flat side down so it had a flat surface to slide on . Plus a little Grease on the parts would help .... Just a thought . I think it is Neat you can find the parts to fix these things . Way to go ...

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!! We oiled things up when I got it home!!☺

[@victorbitter583]

I agree. the pin is in upside down. cheers

[@not2fast4u2c]

Good to see it working !!!

[@805ROADKING]

Yeah Buddy!! ☺

[@johnstrange6799]

Old is gold.

[@805ROADKING]

Yeah Buddy!!☺

[@shawnmrfixitlee6478]

Great fix Guys , Thumbs up !!

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Shawn!!☺

[@99carnot]

Very good work by everyone. Welding was nice!

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Steve!! I taught the Kid how to Mig weld one day and the next day he was welding better than Me!!☺

[@99carnot]

805ROADKING He is lucky to have such a good mentor!

[@led8541]

great video i thought at first that spring was going to give you a fit but you got it on with not much problem

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!! Yeah I thought that was gonna get ugly too!!☺

[@regsparkes6507]

I was just watching this assembly and thinking, " you know, there's a lot of geometry and engineering type thinking and practice that had to be used in that handle assembly!" I mean to have those 'star' gears in constant mesh, and the flat sided pin to operate the hydraulic plunger all at the same time. Interesting and fun too,...."I'm gonna leave it the way it is, until the car falls on somebody..." Good one!

[@805ROADKING]

Yeah I was thinking the same thing, especially the way they shaped the one gear so it would mesh with the moving handle!!☺

[@regsparkes6507]

Yes, that, exactly.

[@JMassengill]

Nice repair.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!!☺

[@toymanek]

You should definitely change the hydraulic oil. I have used transmission fluid and it bring back to live my old jack. try this out.

[@karout12]

can you please provide us with the link to where did you buy the gear from, I have the same exact unit and need the same exact repair. So can you help please ...to where I buy the gear from

[@allenmckinney9533]

allsome 👍

[@jmpusa01]

where can i purchase the two release gears

[@scorpio415]

I watch your video and really enjoy. I gotten a old Sears floor jack that's made in Japan. However it won't go down and also hard to turn. It's stuck so I checked the fluid and it's good. Is it something major and worth keeping?

[@lionden4]

Worth trying to fix it for a knowledge gain.. I just fix mine cost $ 12.35 ..

[@battlehrfred]

Nice Video Sir 100-100

[@MrSamBowers]

I wanted to see how you put that O - ring back in the pump pistion hole. I need to replace mine and I'm trying to avoid all the pitfalls.

[@JoshKilen]

very nice job.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Mate!!☺

[@trankt54155]

Where did you get those gears?

[@lane4574]

I grew up in Santa Paula (805) What part are you at? My grandma still lives in Ventura. BTW great video.

[@shartne]

And I threw mine in my junk pile after I dissembled it. Mine had that gear problem too.

[@rw3dog]

good work

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks RW!!☺

[@Z71Ranger]

It looks like they took it apart at one time and put the washer in the wrong spot... You guys put the washer in the correct spot and fixed the slack in the part.... The reason the grear is messed up if because the person before you put that washer in the wrong spot and the gear moved up and got on top of each other while the person was jacking up the jack and they turned the handle and bent up the gears...

[@DriveShaftDrew]

AWESOME GOOD LIKE NEW

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Drew!!☺

[@biofall38]

Things sweet I want one

[@whiteboy2600]

who needs to buy new one when you can just fix it thumbs up bud

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks alot Bud!! ☺

[@homotorsports]

Back in action...

[@805ROADKING]

Yeah Buddy!! ☺

[@slimjim119]

well done

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Jim!!☺

[@rockyjjones8989]

You need a spring on the right side to hold the handle up

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

Success!

[@805ROADKING]

Yeah Buddy!!☺

[@januaryman169]

I just bought a jack like this. Mine was missing the rubber plug. I gave $30 for the jack, $5 for the plug, $3 for shipping and $2 for jack oil.

[@UtahTrucker]

Hey i was wondering if you knew who makes this jack i have just like it

[@kimchee94112]

Try this: Allied Hydraulic Van Nuys, CA 2 Ton, Model HDJ2

[@LookAmongTheHeavens]

Be nice if you could do those seal that's what needs done on mine

[@trankt54155]

That jack should now last another 100 yrs.

[@upsidedowndog1256]

I would oil the hinge points and grease the lower shaft zerk. Looks pretty good for something to be scrapped.

[@805ROADKING]

Yeah Buddy!! We greased and oiled it up when we got home!!☺

[@timpatton7362]

The pin with the slot in it was put in back wards,

[@TheOpenAirGarage]

Once you get it sorted it will serve you for along time. Maybe change the oil in it.

[@805ROADKING]

Yeah it should outlast me!!☺

[@aserta]

Unless my eyes or the camera is deceiving me, the new one's walls are thinner. THAT, if true, is where they skip costs the most. There's a difference between a sheet of 3 mm and one of 5 mm (or whatever size they have), not much, but it does add up.

[@805ROADKING]

Nah they were pretty much the same, I'd consider it an excellent aftermarket reproduction and I'm not very big on reproduction parts!!☺

[@ml2trick]

I guess you can fix old shit. I was Wrong on the First Video Comment. Good Video

[@805ROADKING]

No worries Mate!! As long as it keeps doing what it's suppose to do!! I think this Lil' Guy has had a rough life!!☺

[@alexpowers3697]

Speaking of heat--i saw a guy put a v belt pulley of a Farmall engine on a hot plate, then smacked it on the crank. Couldn't that melt the oil seal on the front cover? The Kid needs some tires man!

[@rogeroconnor5182]

good deal,sadly i lost my hein werner in a move. i would love a older lincoln,but not at 500 used...

[@805ROADKING]

Ya need to find a leaky one at an auction and rebuild it, working ones are outta site!!☺

[@pvc988]

Something is dripping on the left side of the car. Is it water?

[@805ROADKING]

Yeah that was just water!!☺

[@wyattoneable]

Way to save a valuable tool.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Wyatt!! It would have been a shame to see that get melted down!!☺

[@jamesmoar4542]

Would his name be buddy?

[@mikedoblo4782]

are you going to treat it to a new paint job

[@805ROADKING]

Nah, I like the patina it has!!☺

[@jb4241]

I have a similar Jack...needs an overhaul..Where can I get oil seals for this ? OTC has this Seal Kit but already discontinued and they can't even point me in a direction...no substitute parts too. The guy I spoke with in OTC Tech Support seems like he doesn't want being there...very few words " It's been discontinued" thats all he knows what to say...Well !!! then what ? has no imagination and doesn't like to help people. Thank God he is not assigned in customer service...probably had a rough childhood. I'm sorry...Any info please help

[@battlehrfred]

Hi Just take it apart and take lotssss of pic photos of the way it was originally before you dissembled, there is definitely numbers on these seal, take it/seal, to a seal and bearing shop and they can order the right seal no problems, there is numbers on all of the seals, except O rigs, they can be matched up and get one compatible with all types of oils, these seals and O rings are just a few dollars, great investment on a old reliable jack...mine leaked because of the big piston seal because my Bro or someone in my shop, used brake fluid in the jack.some seals are not compatable with brake fluid or other fluida. BTW use only appropriate jack oil. ty

[@captainjerk]

Great fix! Probably crush a dude's skull no problem now! 🤕

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Capt!! Yeah I lost a friend that way!!☺

[@The8TrackChap]

Who's Mustang is that? I knew it wasn't the old Miata.

[@805ROADKING]

That's Lil' Dirtbikes!! He got such a great deal on it he couldn't pass it up!!☺

[@The8TrackChap]

He's already got 5 vehicles. Don't let that boy become an automotive hoarder. "Save your pennies, Ebenezer!"

[@juanmoscoso6686]

K gueno un auto sin conbustible no anda k astusia guena savio

[@jok3yjesu339]

[@prozac8691]

[@txsviking]

[@JoeKyser]

[@805ROADKING]

[@ericgarcia7699]

[@zombie_craig2921]

[@garybentleysr7929]

[@ziggassedup]

[@805ROADKING]
