Hi all,
I have such a jack, of unknown brand.
I've had it quite a while, and it was worth it's weight in gold.

Unfortunately, as i'm getting older - needing the easiest ways to work - my trusty old jack has started leaking. I can't quite make out where from.

It dosn't jack up to its full height etc.

I'm sure a set of seals would help,,,, but as it's unbranded (the label came off) I have no idea what to go for.

I think it's a 2-ton - maybe 3-ton, and wondered if there is a 'standard' set ?

If not, is it worth putting an image of it on here, in case anyone recognises it ?

thanks all

Any hydraulic shops in your area ? they could possibly stock what you need or recon the jack for you

Cheers guys for a rapid reply.
I don't know of a specific hydraulics place near me, but I'll start looking.

As a disabled pensioner, I was looking at some cheap jacks, but they seem a bit flimsy nowdays.
It's only for occasional domestic use, but you get used to things.

I'll report back if I get anything.

thanks again
