Old Trolley Jack Restoration

[@RRCRestoration]

Hey Guys, As you have probably noticed already i have updated the channel name and logo. The channel is no longer Really Random Channel it is now RRC Restoration. Just incase you were wondering why the water marks in the video still say Really Random Channel. Enjoy.

[@jerichocarl5507]

@Maxwell Jefferson i really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@jerichocarl5507]

@Maxwell Jefferson it worked and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thanks so much you saved my ass :D

[@maxwelljefferson2633]

@Jericho Carl You are welcome =)

[@gtoger]

It's clear that you're having a good time making these videos. That spirit is appreciated.

[@garymucher4082]

I realize this is an older video, but I had to say you did a great job rebuilding and refinishing this floor jack. I did basically the exact same thing to mine, but powder coated everything but the actual hydraulic jack itself. And that is now the only part that I need to work on since it refuses to jack up the jack. But it will get repaired too. Thumbs Up!

[@suzukietc1373]

I'm glad more and more people are interested in these videos. I'm hoping it'll inspire more people to start fixing things rather than just buying new when an easy enough part to replace or refurb breaks. Too much is thrown away because it's easier to to buy new. So much waste for no reason, not to mention the satisfaction you get when you fix something they're all missing out on. Love the channel and videos mate.

[@RRCRestoration]

Thank you very much for your comment and im very glad you like my channel :)

[@vidura]

No talking on video, just pure commitment to quality = instant subscription. Thank you man. Far too much pointless words spewn out by pointless people these days. This is how it should be.

[@RRCRestoration]

Thank you very much for your kind comment. Thank you for subscribing as well its very much appreciated :)

[@marioc.9202]

You are a master, my friend. Very good. In this modern times, nobody knows and nobody do things like that.

[@tigrarulez]

Damn this guy is awesome !!! No stupid music No endless talk Full with humour (Vacuum George) Keep it going!!!!!

[@RRCRestoration]

Your too kind :)

[@wraith20072007]

Come out beautiful man, got to respect a man who brings tools back to life.

[@ghadaXX]

I LOVE that there was no music added to this! it was so therapeutic to watch!

[@RRCRestoration]

Im glad you enjoyed it :)

[@beakittelscherz5419]

Did anyone else see that one leftover steel marble? lol Lovely Video , as always!

[@immasurvivor]

Top notch video as always. People can really learn from you and My Mechanics.

[@RRCRestoration]

Thank you very much :) My friend over at My Mechanics is unreal when it come to restoration really second to none.

[@Colorado_Native]

I completely agree.

[@BREN70S]

Very cool and no annoying music . Thanks .

[@RRCRestoration]

Thank you for watching :)

[@868drive]

That's a really well designed jack. Thanks for all the great content. Now I'm going to repair my 3 broken trolley jacks.

[@lesrogers7310]

Wow......just WOW! It looks superb, well done!

[@edmarkham2632]

Very nice job. Those jacks are really handy every single time they are used.

[@RRCRestoration]

Thank you :)

[@kjprice1443]

That's a work of art. Pure genius skills!

[@RRCRestoration]

Thank you very much :)

[@shaunmullings4153]

Excellent job cobba. 😉👍👍

[@nek123]

Real man clean work.But the much effort for a jack !!

[@lofty7180]

turned out nice again, good to see the sketchy cable tied bench grinder making an appearance

[@RRCRestoration]

Thank you, Yup the sketchy bench grinder still going strong :)

[@andjuju6476]

A work of art, well done that man.

[@RRCRestoration]

Thank you :)

[@Papa-Kev]

Another great job! No other "restorer" on youtube comes close to your attention to detail.

[@RRCRestoration]

Thank you very much, High praise indeed :)

[@limo312]

Dude your da man!!! Beautiful job on restoring your jack, so much time, effort and dedication on restoration. I'm sure most don't appreciate the job you've done. Thank you for showing us your creation. It;s beautiful.e DA MAN!!!

[@ianhay1928]

not seen a bad one yet. fantastic viewing . thanks for sharing 👍

[@RRCRestoration]

Thank you very much for watching and commenting :)

[@jsmedbond]

That was a very therapeutic video to watch. Well done.

[@mikemilenzio7555]

Fantastic videos!! The end results of your projects are incredible, but more importantly is the process, the organizational skills, the patience (at least on camera!😂🤣), the know-how. This is text book project management stuff! Personally, I would really appreciate a short verbal explanation of what is happening in each video, and why a certain procedure is being applied. On the other hand, maybe your videos are perfect just the way they are recorded. Thanks for sharing your skills!!!

[@richardmarsh1332]

I have one of these exact Eversure jacks(bought it new in the 70s i think) but my concern is not it's cosmetic looks but its hydraulic integrity. Whilst you have done a great job restoring its looks I would pay more attention to it having a complete new set of hydraulic seals. Nevertheless well done.

[@davidhill4695]

Very interesting neat and tidy work, give my regards to George he's doing a clean job.

[@cpeterson877]

Great job of cleaning and repainting.

[@jaimealbarran6719]

I like that color. Good job 👍🏽

[@antonioparra4979]

Buen trabajo señor mil gracias por el video.

[@patrickmcmurray9446]

Great to watch! 2 ideas: 1. sub-title during the plating process to explain, and 2. lose the locking pliers; they marred your handsome bolts! Having no crappy "music" playing is another plus, thank you.

[@Spazza42]

What these videos have taught me is that anything can be repaired. Yes you need to know what you’re doing, but it’s not as difficult as people try to make out.

[@senseirandy9491]

So satisfying to watch. Unintentional ASMR. Love these restorations.

[@JayKay-ht8rg]

Those vintage Trolley Jacks are worth ten of the crap being made these days. Good job.

[@winterfawn2341]

Your videos are so enjoyable. Love that your work is clean and done well and that you always keep a clean work area. Random things like that make me happy. Lol!!!

[@19friday55]

As always....one fine job...well done!

[@ayklization]

Outstanding workmanship

[@RRCRestoration]

11.00 reminded me of wordy, brought back memories. Great vids. Hope we get to see another bike resto soon 👍

[@anthonyhoran2543]

Please please can I send my jacks to you.that jack looks amazing.! Excellent job!

[@kjamison5951]

This gives me a real lift every time I watch it! 😄

[@AnnihilationOnNation]

You should restore your poor bench grinder next.

[@bradwells8643]

Im waiting for it to give up the ghost then ill restore it :)

[@jamiefougere5410]

Lol

[@Colorado_Native]

And make the drill press match after that.

[@VBtoonz]

I love your videos.. so calming and satisfying to see the steps of restoration. Keep it going!

[@guillermoospina6212]

Felicitaciones!!!! Excelente trabajo. como siempre !!!!

[@jezztech]

You put a really nice paint finish on it, my first ever trolley jack was a brand new Halfords 2 ton , and was finished in a kind of lime green hammered enamel, I had for like 25 years from my teens , then did a serious rebuild at around 20 , and painted the main body parts and cylinder in hammerite grey smooth, and all the other parts in hammerite "hammer" black, and it looked excellent, I like you making a point of re-greasing everything while you rebuild. NICE JOB !!!

[@ManuelAlbeiroMalavercangrejo]

excelente trabajo, realmente admiro la calidad con la que lo haces.

[@nickj3368]

Lovely detail, well done.

[@malcolmgalton581]

Proper time and effort put in nice job lot of work.

[@shimano010101]

better than the original.. nice work.. wish i had the tools you do..

[@RRCRestoration]

Thank you :)

[@michaelhutin5451]

I have the exact same jack as this, even the dirt & rust looked the same, I had to go and check the workshop to make sure mine was still there.

[@egorsatyr923]

What is the make of your model? Does it have a serial number? Mine is similar and I am looking to get a seal kit for it as it is leaking but it has no identification on it. Thanks in advance!

[@tinosenf6937]

Great Job! Better than new! With best regards from Deutschland!

[@EndofUSA]

Fantastic!!! Beautiful... You just turned into a brand new jack!!! Great Job!!!

[@DavidPlass]

I always have a problem with paint chipping during reassembly. You always do a beautiful job.

[@RRCRestoration]

Hi, If you are having a lot of problems with chipping you may need to have a look at the prep work before the final layer is applied if you are making the base too smooth the top coat wont adhere properly and that can cause paint to chip very easily as it hasn't got as good a grip as it should. Thank you for your kind comment.

[@michaelskinner896]

Beautiful work sir!

[@RRCRestoration]

Thank you :)

[@covinhas87]

Very nice! I did a restoration of a Jack few years ago, but much more simple. You have all the tools and loads of knowledge. I just found the car filler a waste of your time, other than that, I loved your restoration. :D

[@sosrob8085]

Wow beautiful job, love the color! Thank you

[@RRCRestoration]

Thank you for watching :)

[@MG-so8yf]

He's so fast at everything, especially at grinding parts!

[@Colorado_Native]

Yeah! How does he get his hands to move so fast? Extra vitamins? Maybe some random Jack Daniels?

[@jamescavanagh4531]

Lovely job. Best bit was the hoover 😁

[@RRCRestoration]

glad you enjoyed it, George loved his moment in the spotlight :)

i love your videos the rain sound the george and all thumbs up please more restoration videos

[@RRCRestoration]

Thank you very much :) Have no fear i have plenty more in the pipeline.

[@jasonphillips3865]

Cracking job George. Your my hero 😍

[@markhenne1444]

EXCELLENT VIDEO, BETTER THAN NEW

[@heathwoodlee520]

Very nice! I see you answered the question on the piston already but I also would like to see the grinder restored!

[@RRCRestoration]

The bench grinder will get its own restoration series when it gives up the ghost, Im running an experiment to see how long it will keep going :)

[@heathwoodlee520]

Can't wait to see it, that will be a fun one to watch.

[@TDIMAXDIESEL]

Very nice restoration !

[@guilhermeartink]

Nice demonstration

[@zrkn1]

BRAVO and the crowd goes wild!!

[@danieldodsonuk]

Interesting that there is a nut and bolt on the plunger, that is different to the lower spec model which has a pivot and circlip. A very nice job done. Obviously you have a very deep understanding of how it all works and don't simply throw it away. I have the baby model of these and unfortunately cannot get the plunger seal anymore as it is a square section o-ring, and of course imperial. I've tried a normal circular section oring and it simply does not work. So my jack will probably have to go for scrap.

[@rulastkdo]

And without a scratch on that new paint

[@enterthelegions]

Lovely work again.

[@RRCRestoration]

Thank you very much, nice to see you again ; )

[@Brian-Burke]

Beautiful job!

Cool restoration, awesome. Cheers man

Awesome restoration, You did a great job, too bad we didn’t get to see it in action.

[@RRCRestoration]

Thank you, Oh dont worry im sure it'll pop up in a future video ;)

[@Khanji743]

Excellent restoration...

[@RRCRestoration]

Thank you very much :)

[@TheLoxxxton]

Still loving the serial killer in the stripped out basement vibe! To top the charts how about a refurb of a shop manikin???

[@RRCRestoration]

Thanks for the suggestion ;)

[@jasonlee5136]

for one thing, you working desk keeps clean, that is very good practice.

[@grahampickering1560]

I love watching these videos. So relaxing :)

[@RRCRestoration]

Thank you im glad you enjoyed it :)

[@connersewer1615]

yeah all looks pretty! BUT when the lead in stated RESTORATION, I assumed that it would be about at least re-sealing the ram!

[@alanfoster2271]

That is why i was watching for. To see how the ram came apart.

[@billybike57]

Just watching the restoration of your floor jack and noticed you using your bench grinder with the wire wheel. Any way……maybe a segment on restoring that grinder thus eliminating the wobblie base and zip tie holding it down. Just a thought from scorching Arizona. By the way, great job on the floor jack. You always do a great job 👏🏼

[@ratbasturd84]

AMSR audio and visually...love it

[@Twin_Flyer]

After all the trouble of cleaning, de-greasing and even using bondo to make the frame look great, you ignored the most important part: the cylinder, While you had it apart why didn't you replace all the seals and gaskets inside it? as the title says "old" its the one part that's most likely to fail and that was the best time to clean it out and make it new. And yes, restore your grinder! Seeing the zip tie holding it together was funny...

[@lllllsp1d3rlllll]

I thought the same I was saying well all is well as long as the pistons in good shape just check it and replace the seal or whatever else that was the most important part of the jack. Its not new what if it fails. Any one using that jack would have a sense of false sequirity couse how it looks now not knowing the piston was never checked.

[@samheeddalman]

He is not really restoring it, just giving it a paintjob ::P

[@MrHBSoftware]

@@lllllsp1d3rlllll you are right but nobody should have any sort of sense of security when using a hydraulic lifting device whether its a jack or a crane whatever...thats the reason for the existence of jackstands...and also if you are gonna mess with the cylinder make sure you do it right because the old one still works and will not fail in a short time probably but sometimes new hydraulic seals they are chino-made and they dont last or dotn respect the tolerances quite well so they wear out get jammed etc and cause sudden premature failures..... but i agree when you say this is not a restoration

[@mikeymatty5451]

Hey Bill, where’s your restoration videos?

[@MrHBSoftware]

@@mikeymatty5451 chill man he is making a constructive criticism..if this video is just to please the asmr folks than thats all right but as a true restoration would imply checking the seals on te cylinder

[@GerryJ08]

Ahhhh. That was very nice. Now that I feel good inside, I can go to bed. Thanks.

[@markarmstrong3394]

You do beautiful work !

[@RRCRestoration]

Great work again! The only bad thing is that after the restoration would be a shame for me to use it for its intended purpose, because it looks better than new!
