hydraulic jack book/site

Dennis van Dam

Thanks . I have seen this site which made me think it was simple . Wellll I have several jacks sitting here of which only one is close to that video in style . The other two must have the springs hidden inside . The one that I have that does resemble that video will , now goes up and down fine but will not hold a load . I think the main seal is gone . I am not sure it is worth repairing these jacks but I am kinda stubborn and hate to give up with out a decent fight ;-) . Still hope to find a detailed book so fixing them only costs a few times what they would to replace . Ken Cutt

You might get lucky and find dirt in the check valve or a broken check valve spring.

Yeah, you're "one of us" alright.

I have polished two valve seats on one already . One on the other as that is all I can find on it so far . Everything really seems simple and yet I can not get them working right , DUH ! . Really it is bugging the heck out of me . This week I split a tractor in two , fixed the transmission and have that working fine , but a simple jack has me baffled . I did see one book at Amazon but it is not available . Hopefully someone will point me in the right direction . Ken Cutt
