  • FIX any hydraulic jack.
    Stuff I used in the video:
    Roll Pin Punches *must have USA MADE*: amzn.to/3RpM2Z8
    U cup install tool just to show you what they are: amzn.to/4832cxe
    REBUILD KITS:
    Craftsman 1.5,2,3,3-1/4 ton: amzn.to/3N8sgPy
    Sears Large Frame 2 ton 328.12160 : amzn.to/3t70axi
    Craftsman 3 ton 328.12291 : amzn.to/3sVDvnz
    Jack Hein Werner WS Model 1-1/2 Ton: amzn.to/47IK6AT
    SPRING for handle lift right side: amzn.to/3NcnHU5
    After Thoughts about the Video: The U cup seals are sold in a ton of sizes at a ton of different places. A quick Google search will give you options. I really only had 1 bad U cup seal which would have cost me about $6 bucks delivered. The other orings I have in bulk kits; so I could have fixed the jack for $6.

      Yeah this has been going on since at least the beginning of summer. I'm assuming it's a torn muscle or something. Dogs just don't know how to let stuff heal though and take it easy. I thought about splinting it up so she just limped around and didn't use it but then likely she'd hurt the other leg.

    • @grahamstretch6863
      @grahamstretch6863 5 місяців тому

      I only watched this as I have a Jack that looks just like the Coats Nike with the exception of the wings for the castor wheels being pressed not cast and the handle has a quick release plunger not a pinch bolt.
      I re-sealed the pump on mine and blasted and painted the whole thing as it was mostly missing all its paint, it also benefited from getting all the pivots out and
      freed up so that they stay static in the frame and the arms rotate on the pin as they were turning in the frame when I got it. I will have to investigate mine as I think it might have the speed lift, from memory the valve body has the extra port, but it definitely doesn’t seem to work and it would be real handy if it did!

      @MaxGiganteum 5 місяців тому

      ​@@sixtyfiveford If the doggo doesn't have a bona fide injury but rather a strain or hyperextension kind of deal going on... you're going to have to just lock her up for a good couple of weeks to a month. And I mean so she cannot run or chase at all. That's about the only way to get things healed up because the dog is going to do what dogs (and KIDS!) do which is to keep right on going and that often leads to an injury never healing up or worse. What's worse? A permanent injury. BT & DT a few times over the decades. Including to myself as a teenager until I was forced to cease all athletic activity by my parents until I healed up and was cleared by the doc. Hey! I could still catch a football even with a cast on my arm?!? Best wishes!

    If you have a shop press with a pressure gauge, then you can easily readjust the pressure relief valve under the orange cap. When I overhauled my 2.5T floor jack, I found loose casting sand inside, so I completely disassembled the jack to clean it all out. After reassembly, I put the jack in the press, extended the arm up to the press ram, then used the press to push down on it until the pressure release valve in the jack let go to get a pressure indication, being careful not to allow it to exceed 3 tons. Adjusting the valve, I was able to reset the check ball to release between 2.5 and 3 tons.

    I worked for a shop in east Dallas that rebuilt auto mechanic tools of all kinds. If a tool truck sold a tool to a line teck at a dealership; we would rebuild that tool when it needed it. There were about 4 shops around Dallas that did the same thing - this was in the early 80's. Brought back a lot of memories; while watching your vid my imagination was smelling all the oil/grease smells I experienced. Working at this shop was a few years before Harbor Freight and their cheaper tools from china became popular. Line techs only bought CN, Ingersol'ran, or Snap'on back then. With the floor jacks, the dealer's mobile battery jump start equipment, and air tools - we were always busy. I got pretty good w/the 20 ton floor jacks. We had a test stand that went up into the 60/70 ton range. The test for the floor jacks was 24hours at the jack's maximum w/out any bleed down on the test stand. I had 2 of those floor jacks seal cup blow out while on the test stand as I was walking by them, talk about getting all shook up. Of all the jacks I rebuilt I only had one that couldnt be rebuilt. I rebuilt it 3 times and it always leaked down on the test stand. The boss even rebuilt it once; said w/his 30 years experience he's never had a jack that couldnt be rebuilt - no telling what that jack had been thru; if only that jack could talk. Thx for the vid. Brought back a bunch of memories

    Great video excellent information. I have a couple in need of repair right now. On both jacks the problem of not staying up or pumping up happens when I tried to add hyd jack oil may have used the wrong fill point. Would you recommend the full tear down like your video or is there something I should look at first. Thanks Mike

    Excellent video, have a Lowes Kobalt 3T that pumps occasionally when it feels like it. Talked to two hydraulic shops and they said that they are throw away. It looks identical to your Craftsman 3T. Think I'll try taking it apart completely this time, last time just replaced the O-ring at the top of the canister and verified that the cup seal wasn't damaged. Think now one of the ball checks are sticking and/or dirty.

    I fixed one of my jacks by refilling it with ATF stop leak in ~2008…it had a leak, lost almost all the oil, so I did that. It still works, now. I don't use it as much because the wheels are loose, but I can't throw it away because it works, and hasn't leaked or sank since my "repair"…from an open bottle I found in my garage.
    It may not work for your jack, but it might be worth a try.

    I have and still use that same, beefy Japan made blue hammer finished Craftsman 2 1/2 ton jack. Also have a matching mint screw type differential jack (made in Taiwan). I hurt the Craftsman as it was low on oil and the internal screw was semi-dry making it stick. We always forced it loose with the handle. I disassembled, scrubbed, polished and lubed it completely about 4 years ago.

      Some of the more common jacks you can buy a whole kit for around 25 bucks. That's not bad considering the cheapest 3ton jacks or well over 100 nowadays.

    Nice work on the jack and a killer deal.
    Working at UTC I discovered a problem.
    The hydraulic presses were built to run at 3000 psi. The plant manager wanted to speed up the presses so he had the pressure raised to 3500 psi so they could accept 9 inch billets instead of the 6 inch they were designed to push. .
    The plant was built in 1951 and the owners were scrap dealers so all the equipment was second or fifth hand by the time they got it.
    The maintenance men were OJT and no one was trained how to train them.
    The lines were springing leaks all over. Every fitting was extruding the o rings through the gaps between the flanges.
    I thought at fires it was the increased pressure. I turned down the pressure as an experiment.
    The lines were still blowing out the o rings.
    I checked and the stock of o rings were made from 70 durometer rubber used for air and water lines
    I replaced them with 90 durometer o rings for hydraulics and stopped the problem of the o rings failing.
    Sounds like a win right? With the high pressure o rings not acting as a blow out plug the presses ran with the 3500 psi oil pressure but the 10 ton cast iron platen on the 1600 ton Youngstown extrusion press cracked in the middle.
    It took 3 months to get a new one made by Youngstown.
    Solved one problem and made another.
    Give Ginger a pat for me.

    Best teardown and repair video I've seen so far. My 2 ton engine hoist/lift stopped working. It required further and further tightening of the release valve for it to work. Now it feels like it goes mooshy inside. Like maybe the seat of the ball split open or something.
    Can it be replaced?
