No idea where to post this, please move to correct forum is this is not.

I got a free floor jack from a friend cuz it stopped working for some reason. It doesn't go up at all.

I'm getting some oil and bleeding it tomorrow to see if thats it, but is there else anything I can check?

 

its either low on oil or it has a bad seal.
motorcycle fork oil is the **** for jacks, we fill all of ours with it

I see. Well that's good to know, I looked at hydraulic oil and it was $30-40

 

plus hydraulic oil is nasty as ****, stains everything, smells horrible and is impossible to clean up.

Ew. If it is a bad seal, does that mean it's trash?

 

well.. if you can pull it apart, you can more than likely find a seal.. i think most jack's cylinders are like a 1/2" bore, then if thats the case i could probably find something similar laying around traxxion

 

Sweet. I'll try to look for an online manual for it. Thanks

 

no problem

 

The sticker is all ripped up, I can't find a part # on it. Found this on google though, http://home.earthlink.net/~rob...1.gif looks like that.

 

we have one of those, lol
it leaks.. we dont know why... its not the seals.

lol. well there's a lot of grease on the lower part of the jack but it could've been from anything.

 

I had one of those jacks as well.. It wouldnt hold fluid for more then a day or two... so I gave up on it.

 

lol. I got a buddy with a bike that has the fluid so we'll see if it works.

 

good luck, lol
