Bought this floor jack back in 1988. I don’t recall where. Stopped working yesterday. It’s had a slight leak for several years. No drips, just an accumulated oil film. Got some hydraulic oil/fluid and filled it up. Lifted and held up a car all night without sagging so it works. I figured it needed some well deserved love. Removed the swivel wheels, cleaned and regressed all the ball bearings. Greased the cross shaft and front wheel axles. It’s a heavy 3 ton unit. A bitch to carry and ugly as sin. But after almost 40 years, it works like new again. Floor jacks have to be the most neglected tool in a garage.
