- Today's project is a Manley mechanical floor jack that I found buried in the back of a collapsed garage. Who knows the last time it was used, but let's see if we can put it back to work!

Very nice restoretion. As a very solid tool 😍👍
Thank you my friend! It was definitely well made!
Where's the schmutz? You gotta put the schmutz on the pins and the pivots and such else! 😢
This is pretty awesome. This jack was made between 1931-1934 same outfit that makes the famous Manley valves for racing. Great job. Glad to see an upgrade on the hardware.
Thanks Mike! Ya you don't see too many Manley Jacks around! If you enjoyed this video, I'll bet you'll enjoy some of my others! Thanks for watching & supporting the channel! Lots more to come!
I've been watching several of your videos and enjoy the restorations. The jack came out great.
Would look great under an old straight axle Model T picking up the front end. Very nicely done, but invest in a sandblast cabinet, would save loads of time plus limit the exposure to harsh chemicals, and all the rust-lead paint dust from wire wheels. Use some shim washers right and left on those captured pins to keep parts centered, and a few drops of oil on moving parts (not grease....only attracts sand, and dirt). Incidentally love the Weimaraners (5?).
Thank you Bert! I am already on the hunt for a QUALITY used sand blasting cabinet! I appreciate you watching & commenting! We have 6 Weims!
That's a very manly Manley! 💪😊 I love these old and beautiful types of workshop equipment, It is almost like a piece of art in itself. Very well done! 👍👍👍
I totally agree, that's why i went with 2 colors, I wanted to highlight the awesome look of it! Now, would I trust my MANhood with this jack, prolly not!
@@SalvageWorkshop No me neither. lol
Awesome restoration. The guy that has a antique Manley tow truck would love to have Manley floor jack. Great job awesome looking jack.
WOW this has may name all over it ! Well it literally does my last name is Manley !!!😳 GREAT restoration as always ! This is something I have never seen before
Lol that's awesome! Maybe YOU should own it! Its also pretty MANly as well!
Well that restoration really lifted my spirits! 😁 Now I think of it, it makes sence that a hydraulic car jack was designed to improve on something that was already out there...... I just wish they hadn't now I've seen what they were trying to replace. That jack is so cool, I love it!!! Awesome restoration, as always, thanks for bringing us along for the ride 👍👍👍👍👍👍
I am glad you enjoyed it!! Yes many old tools were just beautifully designed, unlike many today, and that's one of the reasons I enjoy doing this!! As always Glen, thank you for watching and commenting, I truly appreciate it!
Nice video, great restoration!
Thank you! I appreciate you watching and commenting! Lots more to come!
Man, what a life! You get to tear down and rebuild cool shit, in the company of cool dogs, with no nattering chicks about.
Very nice. Great thing to have around for lifting. Thanks for the video.
The Manley Floor Jack vintage 1929 invented by Robert E Manley in Bridgeport Connecticut. In 1931 the Eastern valve company of Hanover Pennsylvania purchase the patent. The non Hydraulics for used on tow trucks. Unrestored from $100 to $1,000 in value depending on the model.
wonderful tool, perfectly restored, thanks for sharing this video
What a cool old jack. That one will never blow a seal right when you need it.
You got that right Emerson! As old as it is, I'm still not sure how much I'll trust it, but for small stuff it'll be perfect!
"The bolts are bent" AKA I'm done fucking with this shit god damnit wheres my hacksaw
That about sums it up!
You sir are swinging a bigger than me. I wouldn't have trusted the l part that was repaired just by brazing it back together. Otherwise a wonderful restoration job
Does this make the jack unusable now? It’s integrity is compromised now
Have you thought about trying a hard rubber paint roller on the raised lettering? Just a thought here.
Brayer = hard rubber roller. Available in arts and crafts stores. Stamp pad is another way if using ink. I've also used a wine cork. Dip it in paint and then off load on a paper towel before pressing on the raised letters
I've considered it, but most times I have more control over the end result with paint pens or a brush... I haven't tried your methods though, maybe i'll give em a shot!
Full functionality and looks like a million bucks. Impressive! Thank for sharing.
If only I could get a million bucks for it!
Very awesome!!! Iv never seen another jack like it! Looks great for light weight lifting needs around the shop!
Thanks Mark! I hadn't seen one before this one either... That's part of the reason why I decided to restore it! I enjoy finding unique tools! Ya IF i use it, ill only use it for light things with NO danger to myself or others! Thanks for watching!
What about casting another lifting foot to replace that repaired one ?
looks great, i wonder whats better a mechanical floor jack or a hydraulic one?
I would put my trust on an nice hydraulic one, but I LOVE the look of this mechanical one! I wouldn't trust my LIFE with either of them without jack stands!
you didn't put any grease on the pivor points/gear teeth? that wont last long.
It's probably 70-100 years old, COMPLETELY mechanical, and definitely not been OILED in the last 60 of those years, I think it will be just fine! Thanks for the concern though!
@@SalvageWorkshop if this tool will work, it should be oiled. But in other case too, or it will rust.
Darn it all anyhow... I was watching your dogs. Now I have to re-wind. You've got a great thing going for you, man.
Nice job!! I use evaporust in my restorations also. Try this, after you take it out of the evaporust just run your parts under running water and wire brush them quick clean up.
Oh good. A tutorial and inspiration/motivation to restore mine, which I've had for over 50 years.
Go for it Jim!! I'd love to see it when you do it! Thanks for watching & commenting!
I see the inspector came by and gave his approval.🐶 the job's not done until he gives the okay
Looks great. But is it safe to be under a car when using one of these? Old school technology seems sketchy
Old technology is what our current technology is built upon! I love it! Honestly, NO it's prolly not safe to use for anything that might put myself or others in danger! But it is cool! Thanks for watching & commenting!
An awesome Manley jack restoration for a Manley man that does things in a Manley Manner. That is a real collectors piece. BTW, your pedicure and manicure is for this coming Friday.
CANCEL IT!! Those are MANLY hands my friend!!
Love the company's name.. 'Manley Jack'.. Great job sir..
Taking it apart is half of the problem, nice to see the dogs with you, amazing work as usual.
It's a shame more "Mechanical Floor Jacks" are not manufactured. Everything is hydraulic now.
Mechanical Jacks like this one can (this one was at one point) be repaired, and continue in service.
i saw a vintage floor jack for sale at a local scrap yard, $5.......going this weekend to pick it up.
Did you get it?
I agree with your doggy at ~23.0. Took one look and said, "I'm not standing close to that setup." Seems like finding stuff like that jack is probably harder than restoring them. That thing was built to never be taken apart. Great work. Thanks.
ou and our deep wells and long exstensions lol
Love the content-- very individual pleasant and whole lots to see!
I truly appreciate the compliment! Lot's more to come!
That jack is rated to 2 1/2 tons
I like the way you make these videos. No music or person talking.Keep up the good work.
Pretty piece! Did you research the colors or just pick what you thought was good. I thought I saw several different old coats of paint on there. I'm growing tired of blacks and machine grey's but I don't want the shop to look like a pack of Skittles either!
LOL Skittles, I love that! Ya i don't want that either, but usually there is so many other things that are more simple colors that the brighter colored objects just look nice assuming they are done right! I am usually partial to black and grey as well! I definitely researched it, but I hardly found ANYTHING on it or the company on the internet, other than another one for sale in similar condition on ebay! I went with the burnt orange beause I liked it better than puke green! I also went with some components black, and hardware bare metal to really enhance the original beauty of this old MANly Manley!
very nice---but why no lubrication on bolts during re-assembly??
Thank you my friend! No oil because I honestly forgot, i even had an oil can 3ft behind me, lol... I get into this steam-roller mode, and stuff just starts getting done!
Do you share the recipe for your "Special Sauce?"
Well done, I love the jack, i have a simplex rail road jack that i thought about doing.
History show
I know this is most likely a dumb question, but you do wear all the appropriate safety gear, yes? Eyes, ears, nose? I'm sure some of the equipment you work on has lead based paint. We just worry about your health is all. Yet another great vid.
MOST of the time I wear everything but gloves... it really depends on what I'm working on... I also care about my health, and I try my best NOT to take stupid chances with any of it! I definetly appreciate the concern!
👍🏻 A silver Weimaraner? Excellent!
Good to see some Manley bicep action going on there Mr. Salvage. Another fine artifactual resurection. May l suggest a vice mounting/base plate that would temporarily afix to the square hole in your anvil.
WOW Looks it came right off the assembly line.
Ok enough with the the spray on bolt remover .all your are doing is making a mess .it will never work instantly . At best it needs to soak 12 hours . that's why it's called penetrate . It makes you look like you don't know what you're doing. Anyway like you're videos and hope to see you trying to look like you are a professional in next video. Dam that sounded mean just pretend it was advise.
Thanks for watching Al!
I always chuckled when the dogs (inspectors) came to see how the project was going. Beautiful restoration! Thanks for sharing!
Maybe some grease on the moving parts ?
That was an oversight!
DUDEZILLA!!! You are an 'influencer' NOW I see what you and others on YOU TUBE do and I try to do my version of it!!!! HA!! Bet you have NEVER been called an 'INFLUENCER' before!!!!
I don't know about that... I'm just a guy working on stuff in my shop! Thanks for the compliment!! If I could give you a suggestion regarding your videos, use a picture of the actual project as your thumbnail for each individual video and really think out your titles, those are peoples first impressions of you & your videos!
@@SalvageWorkshopTHANKS FOR THE TIP!
Great Job and a perfect restoration! But: Not a single drop of oil or grease at all..?
Yes that's what I was wondering, no lubrication at all, excellent video 👍👍👍. And the Doge are Great 🐕🐕🐕🐕. Best wishes Geoff Lewis, Wales, UK, 🏴🏴🏴
Nice. Never saw a non-hydraulic floor jack before.
Until I came across this one, I hadn't either! Thanks for watching John! Lot's more to come!
Another great job! I really enjoy your videos - you are a craftsman. I also enjoy seeing your helpers, beautiful dogs. from Vancourt Dog Rescue
What is that spray you keep shooting those rusted parts with? PATY = please and thank you.
SPECIAL SAUCE!!
Anorher perfect rescue of a wonderful jack! Great job! Love the clicking smoothly functional working sound! Very very well done! Thanks for sharing!!!
I agree! Nothing like the sound of old mechanical cast iron tools in action! Thank you my friend!
Que impide que todo eso lo sometas al chorro de arena? No se puede comparar la calidad y terminación cuando se arena.
No tengo un gabinete de chorro de arena o un desintegrador de arena ... ¡Estoy buscando una buena oferta para uno usado! ¡Gracias por mirar y comentar!
Forget the vise, sand blaster
Great find and nice job looks great
Thanks brad! I'm happy with it!
advise from an old timer next comments
Dude that Jack is F-img awesome, I'd love to have one like that. Great job and love the dogs too.
Thank you Tim! It's definitely a pretty unique one, and I'm glad you enjoyed it!! My dogs can be crazy, but I love em!!
Excellent work, very well done Sir! Greetings from Southport UK.
I hope you threw it out after you were done. Those pins were bent because it was abused, no telling what other cast parts may have invisible fractures just waiting to fail. The brazed part is not as strong as the original part. That said, good job on the restoration.
ANY jack can fail at ANY point! That's why the use of jack stands is ALWAYS a MUST with any jack, no matter how old it is! Thanks for the concern though, I appreciate you watching and commenting!
I beg to differ...brazed cast iron will fail usually at another point other than the weld. It's equally strong as original. I do however question why manufacturer used cast parts at stress points, and agree that to bend short 3/4" pins takes large forces=abuse. Should be reserved for picking up Model T's, and buggies. (use jack stands too)
Gran trabajo de calidad!!!!...cómo todos tus proyectos Un gran saludo desde Argentina
¡Gracias mi amigo! ¡Realmente aprecio que lo veas y comentes! ¡Me alegra que disfrutes los videos! ¡Mucho más por venir!
Says "it would be nice if I had a vice" next shot shows him at one on a stump...
You got it! Thanks for watching & commenting!
That things a real beauty now 👍
Thank you my friend! I am very happy with how it turned out! Thanks for watching!
Have you ever found an old Toe jack with winding handle attatched to a rack and pinion lift ?., ..they are about 3-4 foot high, extend to 6-7 foot and are surrounded by a wood box...they can lift a ton or 2 easy
OMG your dogs are stealing your thunder they’re so beautiful
Thanks for watching!
I like the restoration good job, BUT WHERE WAS THE LUBRICATION OF ALL THE PIVOT POINTS. Great finish must admit, good video's please keep them coming. Best wishes, Geoff Lewis, Wales, UK 🏴🏴🏴
Gorgeous restoration. I'd not trust that to hold a car over my head, but to get it on jack-stands, A-OK!
Amazing what people did with the stuff they had. Now, hydraulics are cheap and common,
but not anywhere near as beautiful.
Also, don't EVER lift a trailer by the box.. get under the frame, or suspension! Like a car.
Otherwise, you can easily bust out the bolts that mount the box / body onto the frame.
I totally agree with you on the jack! NO TRAILER was HARMED in the making of this video! that trailer is a BEAST! It was late and I needed to show it lifting something easy to see on camera.
perfect
Thank you!
Great work. Well done.
Thanks Dan! I appreciate you watching and commenting!
Très bon travail, très bonne vidéo, très bon son !!! C'est relaxant .. MERCI
Merci mon ami! J'apprécie vraiment vos compliments et le fait que vous ayez pris le temps de regarder ma vidéo! Beaucoup est à venir!
Great job btw
1st of all super cool jack. Very impressed with this jack restoration. Really pleased with ur color choices - looks great reassembled. Love ur dogs- Blue Ticks?
Please spend a dollar or two and get yourself several Ball Pein Hammers 8 -12 - 16 - 24 oz. and at least two each "C" and "F" 4" 6" 8" clamps, I am really tired of watching you chase parts around the work table and hitting bolts with a 4 pound drill hammer.
Wow that is really old never seen one.
Lance & Patrick.
I can hardly find ANYTHING about it on the internet, but it's still cool!
Nice job, but nothing was shown for lube on all those pins and bearings, but surely you put grease or way oil on everything.
Simply amazing that you can get all those parts back together. You are good, that’s for sure.
It was definitely a puzzle!
You can find info on Manley Manufacturing Co , Bridgeport Conn searching the net , I did.
This looks like it is a 5000 Lb ( 2 1/2 Ton ) floor jack. Yours looks new all the ones on the
net are antiques.
Nicely done! I love tools that look like artwork.
Thank you my friend! I totally agree with you! That is why I went with 2 paint colors and choose to leave the hardware bare metal, I think it really accents the beauty in the original design!!
just sayin
Here are this kluge's ratings - Low end, "for display only". High end, "it will kill you at the first opportunity". Suitable only for lifting little Johnny's first tricycle!
Great job and nice end results. Impressive.
Thank you Terry! I appreciate you watching & commenting! Lots more to come!
Another fine restoration!!
Is “ 5287( in pounds)” the weight limit or just the serial number?
That is actually a part number... they used to cast part numbers into each part... Look at the other parts closely, you'll see similar numbers on the major parts. Good question!
Thank you for your correcting me.
Your costars seem to get distracted a lot.
Lol... that is the understatement of the century when it comes to my pups! They sure are a ton of fun though!
Great job, sir! That was a lot of parts! May I ask, what spray/coating did you use here: 15:40
It's certainly Rustolium Primer, and the label has three words so I'm guessing "rusty metal primer" or "self etching primer"
@@UnsanctionedFabrication Thank you for answering, sir!
great work and great dogs !!what breed are they ?
Weimaraner i just googled it
I’m always amazed at how many parts there are in what, at first, looks like a simple device.
Very nice restoration! The one thing I would have done differently is, liberal application of lube on every moving part during reassembly. I didn't see any lube except during disassembly.
Thank you Jim! Ya not using oil / grease during reassembly was an over sight! It's all lubed up now!
Wow , I have the same jack that belonged to my grandpa. It looks like the rusty version though. Thanks for sharing.
You know if you have a 55 gallon plastic barrel you can use water and molasses to derust all of that metal mix ratio is 40 to one
I have not tried that recipe before! Many times I don't have the time to wait for rust removal on these projects becasue I only have so much time between my other businesses and getting a new video done each week! Thanks for the tip!
@@SalvageWorkshop it does take awhile for it to work if you put them in it , it could take a month for all the rust to disappear but it gives you time to do other things and if has paint on an item it will not take it off
Ya I would NEVER have that kind of patience! Especially with products like Evaporust!
Great job I look forward seeing more videos
That is so pretty it could sit around as an adornment in the garage-- a piece of "eye candy".
Why don't do sandblasting.i am watching your video uploaded all. Solid material parts for cleaning is best sandblasting
It's so fun about the dogs. I wondered where they all were; replayed it three times; eventually saw they were all on your side of the fence, down in the over-growth of foliage, just hanging out or were they watching something?
Never seen such nice jack! Really nice job!
Thank you my friend!
Great video....the finish is amazing.
That's the manliest floor jack I've ever seen. Looks awesome dude.
I would have to agree with you! Than you my friend!
