/ @ajrestoration So a while ago I got this "Bottle Jack" and two other ones at the recycling yard. I did a restoration on one of them and in my boredom, I decided to make a kind of a how-to video of me repairing this one.
The third bottle jack is unfortunately not fixable since it has been welded shut.
Anyways I hope you enjoy the video.
If you have any suggestions for improvement, or compliments share them below!

Note to self and others : When in storage, never lay these jacks on their side - they leak! My brand new jack leaked into the sparewheel well over the course of a few months. Thanks to you I managed to save it by a top up bleed. Thank you!!!

perfect video, no mindless talk, only explicit visual explanation, and I'm going to give my bottle jack a try at restoring it. Bought an 8 ton for 8$. It has no oil and I have nothing to lose, but some time. Thank you for taking the time to explain the process so clearly.

Tip: you can replace hydraulic oil using mineral or synthetic 15w40 ! They have the same specifications and are less aggressive on the seals. I'm an engineer in hydraulics and we often replace hydraulic oil with 15w40 because it is less harmful to nature.

Oh wow, I wish I knew this before. Thank you, Jerry!

@user-du7pe6pm7d Жыл бұрын

well -- depending on how much one is used - hydro oil has much more antishear and antifoaming agents - and would flow much easier it is said - and why would not a good 30 weight oil be as good if using oil - - a small pump does not need a flow rate additive - nor does it need a more expensive oil - if lazy people would change the oil more often - they could use anything - diesel fuel will even work - if it had additives - it could last forever - just a thought - they were selling replacement oil at harbor freight for a dollar - now Im sure it is 2 dollars -- ahahahahaha - i have a lot of old jacks - 50 tons even - did not know hydro oil was worse than the others for nature - must be some of the additives - cause oil is oil - and most studies on syns have not had enough studies - only that they last longer so they are better - we use less over time - oil company's are the only ones really doing the studies - and they are of course all LIARS -- ahahahaha --- paying trillions to cover up their facts and mistakes - even plastics - beings they are made from petroleum are said to cause cancer - hemp is said to be the best oil on the market - and with additives - they too can last years even --- the oil company's have paid tons to keep it off the market - even though it causes no harm to the environment --- but anyway -- ahahahahaha

@JerryDoe Жыл бұрын

@@user-du7pe6pm7d foaming is not an issue as hydraulic tanks are pressurized before feeding the hydraulic pumps, antishear also isn't an issue especially with synthetic oil because hydraulic pumps use butterfly valves to generate pressure and they are made from brass, hydraulic cylinders use seals they never touch metal to metal. We actually found that replacing hydraulic oil with 15w40 was much softer on the insides of the hydraulic hoses, they often started to peel from the inside as the hydraulic oil was eating them away. Nonetheless we switched to Castrol biobar duo environmental rules in many countries (I do maintenance for marine excavators the BA1100 in particular but also a liebherr 995 and the liebherr 994 is now replaced with an Hitachi)

Thanks for the video, I have an old big hydraulic jack, that my dad bought numerous years before I was born and I just turned 59 a couple of weeks ago and it needs to be fixed . So after watching you rebuild this one, I am going to try to fix my old jack, just mainly because it was my dad's and it being that old . I have 4 more newer jacks, one of them is only about 4 years old and the other 3 are about 20 years old . 🤗👍💫

Just done this to my motorcycle lift jack. The piston rod had rusted and rust had got in and polluted the oil. I thought the seal might be gone, but once cleaned and refilled with new hydraulic oil it was fine. Wish I'd watched your video first!

Interesting. Our late 60's vintage Sears Craftsman 1.5T floor jack (Made in Japan) has a thick rubber bushing near the base of the main shaft. It got destroyed years ago when my dad loaned the floor jack to a neighbor who tried to lift one side of his Kenworth tractor trailer. About ten years ago I managed to find a seller in Belmont Shores , CA who sold repair kits for various types of hydraulic jacks. I guess the moral of my story is, if you treasure your tools and equipment, don't loan them out because people won't respect them and destroy them, or they will and try to keep them.

@rogerclark9285 7 ай бұрын

Is that seller still in business and do you have a name for him?

@ytlas3 7 ай бұрын

It's been about ten years since I ordered the kit from him. I remember his business was at his home in Belmont Shores, CA. I remember his location because it took about ten working days to get the parts to me, just 12 miles away.
