Thank you for having good shop practices, for cleaning everything up before you work on it, for having a little impact driver to get that screw out, and for turning the crescent wrench around the right way so the movable jaw isn't loaded. So many fixit videos are made by blacksmiths who work in filth and grease, never clean their tools and use them the wrong way, pound on screwdrivers and use alignment punches as drifts. My Sears jack goes up about halfway and I've been reluctant to dive into it. Now that I'm 81 and don't work on things anymore, it'll probably stay at half mast,
@@MikefromMissouri When I was racing, part of the enjoyment was doing everything as right as we could do it, everything clean, everything tightened with a torque wrench, no reason for a race car to be dirty, good tools used properly. I had a young guy helping me, and I preached my philosophy. I found out long after we stopped that I was known among his friends as the guy who wouldn't allow a tool to go back in the toolbox until it had been blown off with brake cleaner.
I have the exact same jack. I bought it new at Sears back in 1985. I had to add hydraulic fluid a few years ago, but that is the only thing I have done to it besides, keeping it clean and lubricated.
Thanks, I picked up a 'fixer' Craftsman for free and cleaned up and added oil, etc. and thought I got it, but first attempt wouldn't lift car. Rebuild kits are $60, but I didn't want to replace everything, just to find that it was probably one bad seal somewhere. I can get a new one for $100 or less, but I just despise Harbor Freight and others. I'll look at that cylinder seal first, thanks gr thoroughness,
i have the same sears jack. air gets into the hydraulic system causing a decrease in pump stroke so it takes a lot of pumping to get the jack to rise up to full height. yes you can bleed it at the top and the bottom of the stroke but the air gets back in. a second jack a prolift speedy jack from harborfreight i got works flawlessly. never had to bleed it
Good job I have the basic same jack in my shop will lift but you come back in a couple of hrs and the load will be on the ground, I don’t trust it, I have checked fluid level, About all I know to do for it, I bought a harbor freight heavy duty 3 ton fast free lift option, Works great, except for one thing, the lift point pad will not come off, on certain jobs I need it off The pad will come of the old craftsman jack,
@@MikefromMissouriI did and found the exact cup seal i needed....And you were correct....Everything else was good except for the cup seal.....Totally decentegrated...Thank you so much for the video
@@MikefromMissouri I am looking for multiple items , a 35 yr old [ about ] Japan floor jack , a 10 yr old Craftsman aluminum floor jack & what appears to be Harbor Freight heavier than most cherry picker long ram . Thanks anyway
