Old Trolley Jack Restoration

- A fun little restoration the whole family can enjoy. So sit back relax and let me take you on another Really Random restoration adventure :)
Yet again lurking in my friends shed was this tired and past its best Eversure trolley jack that was crying out to be restored so i obliged, I got it dug out and first thing i did was test it to see what kind of condition it was in and if it had any major defects and im glad to report it was fully functional, that is why in the video you dont see me taking the hydraulic cylinder apart as there was simply no need to.
After initial inspection i took it to the work bench and started the disassembly process.It came apart pretty easily except for the odd nut and bolt that needed a bit of persuasion with heat and a hammer.
After disassembly everything was stuck into a warm degreasing bath ( yes i need a parts washer ) and left to soak for an hour before giving them a good aggressive scrubbing to remove all the dirt and grease. After drying thoroughly all painted parts were media blasted to remove all old paint and any rust that had formed.
Any parts that weren't suitable for blasting were soaked in DEOX C to remove all rust.
The lifting arm on its horizontal face was particularly bad with rust pitting i had 2 choices at this point i could either go down the grinding route to resurface the arm or the body filler route and i chose the filler route as i felt it added another interesting process to the video. once dried and sanded smooth the arm was ready for primer along with all the other bare metal parts.
I decided at this point before i went any further to show a quick demo of the Ram in action so as not to be accused of building a non functional jack so this was the only reason i included this scene in the video.
After priming with etch primer and high build i wet flatted all the parts to give a super smooth surface for the paint to bond with to enhance the gloss levels and flatness of the final paint job. I mixed up the 2k yellow i colour matched to a piece of the old paint work then sprayed 3 coats then left to bake. After the bake cycle i came back into the booth and painted all the black parts in the same fashion.
All parts that were not painted like the pivots,nuts bolts,washers etc were all zinc plated and left to cure along with the paint.
Once all parts were totally dry it was time for assembly , not much to say here except lots grease was used and care taken no to chip any of the new paint apart from that its just a repeat of the disassembly in reverse.
This was another fun restoration, way longer than i anticipated but i hope you'll agree very interesting none the less.
A new addition to my videos from now on will be a water mark and my channel name popping up in random places throughout the video as im getting rather tired of people re-uploading my content as their own i hope you guys understand.
If you like what you see and have any ideas for the channel or would even like to donate something to restore to the channel please get in touch. :)

Old Trolley Jack Restoration - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Hey Guys, As you have probably noticed already i have updated the channel name and logo. The channel is no longer Really Random Channel it is now RRC Restoration. Just incase you were wondering why the water marks in the video still say Really Random Channel. Enjoy.
I know im asking the wrong place but does anyone know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account..?
I was dumb lost the password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me.
@Jericho Carl Instablaster ;)
@Maxwell Jefferson i really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Maxwell Jefferson it worked and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thanks so much you saved my ass :D
@Jericho Carl You are welcome =)
I'm glad more and more people are interested in these videos. I'm hoping it'll inspire more people to start fixing things rather than just buying new when an easy enough part to replace or refurb breaks. Too much is thrown away because it's easier to to buy new. So much waste for no reason, not to mention the satisfaction you get when you fix something they're all missing out on. Love the channel and videos mate.
Thank you very much for your comment and im very glad you like my channel :)
I realize this is an older video, but I had to say you did a great job rebuilding and refinishing this floor jack. I did basically the exact same thing to mine, but powder coated everything but the actual hydraulic jack itself. And that is now the only part that I need to work on since it refuses to jack up the jack. But it will get repaired too. Thumbs Up!
Excellent job cobba. 😉👍👍
It's clear that you're having a good time making these videos. That spirit is appreciated.
No talking on video, just pure commitment to quality = instant subscription. Thank you man. Far too much pointless words spewn out by pointless people these days.
This is how it should be.
Thank you very much for your kind comment. Thank you for subscribing as well its very much appreciated :)
I have one of these exact Eversure jacks(bought it new in the 70s i think) but my concern is not it's cosmetic looks but its hydraulic integrity. Whilst you have done a great job restoring its looks I would pay more attention to it having a complete new set of hydraulic seals. Nevertheless well done.
Did anyone else see that one leftover steel marble? lol
Lovely Video , as always!
Great to watch! 2 ideas: 1. sub-title during the plating process to explain, and 2. lose the locking pliers; they marred your handsome bolts! Having no crappy "music" playing is another plus, thank you.
I LOVE that there was no music added to this! it was so therapeutic to watch!
Im glad you enjoyed it :)
Very cool and no annoying music . Thanks .
Thank you for watching :)
Damn this guy is awesome !!!
No stupid music
No endless talk
Full with humour (Vacuum George)
Keep it going!!!!!
Your too kind :)
Come out beautiful man, got to respect a man who brings tools back to life.
What these videos have taught me is that anything can be repaired. Yes you need to know what you’re doing, but it’s not as difficult as people try to make out.
You are a master, my friend. Very good. In this modern times, nobody knows and nobody do things like that.
Fantastic videos!! The end results of your projects are incredible, but more importantly is the process, the organizational skills, the patience (at least on camera!😂🤣), the know-how. This is text book project management stuff!
Personally, I would really appreciate a short verbal explanation of what is happening in each video, and why a certain procedure is being applied. On the other hand, maybe your videos are perfect just the way they are recorded.
Thanks for sharing your skills!!!
Please please can I send my jacks to you.that jack looks amazing.! Excellent job!
I like that color. Good job 👍🏽
Real man clean work.But the much effort for a jack !!
Top notch video as always. People can really learn from you and My Mechanics.
Thank you very much :) My friend over at My Mechanics is unreal when it come to restoration really second to none.
I completely agree.
Very interesting neat and tidy work, give my regards to George he's doing a clean job.
Your videos are so enjoyable. Love that your work is clean and done well and that you always keep a clean work area. Random things like that make me happy. Lol!!!
Buen trabajo señor mil gracias por el video.
So satisfying to watch. Unintentional ASMR. Love these restorations.
You should restore your poor bench grinder next.
AnnihilationOnNation zip tie lol
Im waiting for it to give up the ghost then ill restore it :)
Lol
@@RRCRestoration lol restore the bench grinder next plz 😀
And make the drill press match after that.
Those vintage Trolley Jacks are worth ten of the crap being made these days. Good job.
Great video but why didnt you rebiuld the cylander thats kinda the most important part
Dude your da man!!! Beautiful job on restoring your jack, so much time, effort and dedication on restoration. I'm sure most don't appreciate the job you've done. Thank you for showing us your creation. It;s beautiful.e DA MAN!!!
I don't know why one would go through all that trouble to restore a jack but I'm glad he did.
As always....one fine job...well done!
That's a really well designed jack. Thanks for all the great content. Now I'm going to repair my 3 broken trolley jacks.
turned out nice again, good to see the sketchy cable tied bench grinder making an appearance
Thank you, Yup the sketchy bench grinder still going strong :)
Glad to see you repainted it in the original color.
Im not going to lie im not a fan of yellow and was severely tempted to change the color but then i thought nah lets do this properly and color match the original paint :)
Just watching the restoration of your floor jack and noticed you using your bench grinder with the wire wheel. Any way……maybe a segment on restoring that grinder thus eliminating the wobblie base and zip tie holding it down. Just a thought from scorching Arizona. By the way, great job on the floor jack. You always do a great job 👏🏼
Great job of cleaning and repainting.
Eres el mejor!!!! Saludos desde Argentina
Nice demonstration
... PROFESSIONAL ... FUNNY ... EFFICIENT ... JOB DONE ...
Thank you very much :)
Interesting that there is a nut and bolt on the plunger, that is different to the lower spec model which has a pivot and circlip. A very nice job done. Obviously you have a very deep understanding of how it all works and don't simply throw it away. I have the baby model of these and unfortunately cannot get the plunger seal anymore as it is a square section o-ring, and of course imperial. I've tried a normal circular section oring and it simply does not work. So my jack will probably have to go for scrap.
11.00 reminded me of wordy, brought back memories. Great vids. Hope we get to see another bike resto soon 👍
Thank you :) Honda TL125 full restoration coming up soon ;)
Wow......just WOW! It looks superb, well done!
I have the exact same jack as this, even the dirt & rust looked the same, I had to go and check the workshop to make sure mine was still there.
What is the make of your model? Does it have a serial number? Mine is similar and I am looking to get a seal kit for it as it is leaking but it has no identification on it. Thanks in advance!
I love your videos.. so calming and satisfying to see the steps of restoration. Keep it going!
That was a very therapeutic video to watch. Well done.

This gives me a real lift every time I watch it! 😄
Nice job!
That's a work of art. Pure genius skills!
Thank you very much :)
Nice job and easily seen with it’s great paint job! Thank you!
Felicitaciones!!!! Excelente trabajo. como siempre !!!!
not seen a bad one yet. fantastic viewing . thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you very much for watching and commenting :)
Still loving the serial killer in the stripped out basement vibe! To top the charts how about a refurb of a shop manikin???
Thanks for the suggestion ;)
Nice job sir
Very nice job. Those jacks are really handy every single time they are used.
Thank you :)
Nice job as usual, although i feel that yellow colour could be even more pleasantly eye-hurting with a nice helping of glitter
A work of art, well done that man.
Thank you :)
Great job
yeah all looks pretty! BUT when the lead in stated RESTORATION, I assumed that it would be about at least re-sealing the ram!
That is why i was watching for. To see how the ram came apart.
Lovely detail, well done.
for one thing, you working desk keeps clean, that is very good practice.
Very nice! I see you answered the question on the piston already but I also would like to see the grinder restored!
The bench grinder will get its own restoration series when it gives up the ghost, Im running an experiment to see how long it will keep going :)
Can't wait to see it, that will be a fun one to watch.
Oh my gosh, this was awesome. Fantastic video sir!
Thank you, glad you liked it :)
Man, I wish I have your patient, every time I watch your videos I feel like I can repair something in my car/house but 10 minutes into it I quit.
Im very happy that my videos inspire you :) Keep going you'll get there eventually :)
I thought that was just me lol
better than the original.. nice work.. wish i had the tools you do..
Thank you :)
I so love watching these, and I want learn more from it. Your videos are clear and concise, easy to watch; so please, please PLEASE give your loving students something like a short subtitle as to what you're doing especially when chemically processing. Cause when you do these things, I want to do them. Bravo on #throwawaythethrowawayculture, you saved another one!
Outstanding workmanship
Thank you :)
Nice bodyworking video 🤙
You put a really nice paint finish on it, my first ever trolley jack was a brand new Halfords 2 ton , and was finished in a kind of lime green hammered enamel, I had for like 25 years from my teens , then did a serious rebuild at around 20 , and painted the main body parts and cylinder in hammerite grey smooth, and all the other parts in hammerite "hammer" black, and it looked excellent, I like you making a point of re-greasing everything while you rebuild. NICE JOB !!!
Muito bom amigo!!!Excelente trabalho!!!Like!!!
Wow nice work
Ahhhh. That was very nice. Now that I feel good inside, I can go to bed. Thanks.
Just found your resto channel. Very nice job sir. I am into restos as well as I like my tools being clean and neat. Enjoy!
Ive got one of these. Thinking or refurbing this too.
Another great job! No other "restorer" on youtube comes close to your attention to detail.
Thank you very much, High praise indeed :)
For your next project get an old oven restore it and use it for powder coating 😉 from the way things are going guess you’re going to need one 😁👍🏻
Very possibly ;)
Loved it nice job even the little touches nice to see a good rebuild
Nice job
Good show!
Thank you :)
Beautiful job!
And without a scratch on that new paint
another great restoration
Thank you :)
Job well done. I do however cringe when individuals use the wrong screw driver size to remove nuts, bolts, screws and the like. I do my own gunsmithing so it is very imperative I use the correct size... thickness... width to prevent damaging the parts.
wou excelente felicitaciones.. como logras darle ese acabado a las tuercas y tornillos ..gracias
Cracking job George. Your my hero 😍
Beautiful work sir!
Thank you :)
I always have a problem with paint chipping during reassembly. You always do a beautiful job.
Hi, If you are having a lot of problems with chipping you may need to have a look at the prep work before the final layer is applied if you are making the base too smooth the top coat wont adhere properly and that can cause paint to chip very easily as it hasn't got as good a grip as it should. Thank you for your kind comment.
I love restoration videos and don’t doubt your skills but virtually anyone could get these kind of results if we all owned sandblasters and spray guns, I’d like to see a channel of someone restoring things without specialist equipment and trying to achieve the best results possible with good old elbow grease and sandpaper etc to get a more realistic view of how much effort, time and skill it actually takes to restore something by hand.
Dude - EXCELLENT work! But you should restore that grinding/buffing wheel set up next :P
I've got a identical jack thanks for posting this may have ago at mine this summer :)
I like to get high and watch these as it gives me an odd sense of satisfaction. Sit back and watch you do all the work for me
Wow beautiful job, love the color! Thank you
Thank you for watching :)
BRAVO and the crowd goes wild!!
Очень красиво!))) Великолепная реставрация! Желаю успехов!
