I never knew this was a thing. I bought a jack from a car boot sale that worked under no load but when I got it home I couldn't get the car up. Had some transmission oil laying around so a perfect fix. Thank so much

I just fixed a nearly identical jack I bought more than 25 years ago. Have been storing it inside so the outside condition was good, but it didn't want to lift anymore. Your video saved the day! It was almost empty despite no visible leaks. Now it lifted a 2 ton car without hesitation. I had already bought a new one, but this oldie has both thicker steel and larger piston than the new one, so it doesn't flex at all and requires fewer strokes to raise, despite being rather cheap back in the day. Thanks a alot for the video!

So many jacks thrown out because of this problem found 1 like this put oil in wala it worked thanks

I have this exact jack in silver, and it's been giving me issues. I've had other trolley jacks, but they don't lift quite as high as this one. I'm going to have a go at this. Thank you!

I've owned a jack just like it for about 40 years or more and it's still good. I might have to put some oil in it from time to time but it still works.

I have a jack very similar got it from halfords here in the UK must be 40 ish years ago still goes great quite well made

I picked up a very large junk trolley jack for a few bucks at a garage sale. It only lifts a little. I'll use your method to get it to hopefully work long enough to install a new door on my Silverado truck. After this if nobody wants it it goes to the scrap pile. Thanks

I have the same jack and I was fixing it… I did not bleed it until I watched this… thanks man

[chihwaatlarge]

You are a life saver. I have an old trolley Jack which l discarded(but fortunately didn't throw away) because it was not lifting. I was actually planning to buy a new one. Thanks to you l refilled it with ATF

Note to self. Just because a jack will pump up, does not mean it will hold a load of heavy weight.

[boyscout-pu]

you may have saved my jack, lemme try it, i hope you can do a vlog how to repair excessive leaking of the oil

I bought a similar jack 18 yrs ago new in the states.duralast .gave me a hard time even getting half way up here lately and I'd had enough . Fix it or toss it later. Pulled the ram out and got the o - ring out of the cylinder. Hadn't tore it up thankfully. Put in a different o ring . No help . Ok . Put 1st back
in. Refused to go. Better light and wa la there it is ! A plastic round bumper had found it's way into the groove in the cylinder where the o ring sits. The simplest effing things sometimes. Ta Ta ! Thanks.

Thanks man, helped me sort out my no name china jack.
BTW I checked and it seems that ATF is not hazardous.

[BobSullivan-fm]

I do go on, so I will . Earlier post was just today. Before all that I watched maybe 6 other posts about filling and bleeding and never even came across any that told me how much fluid to put in. Did exactly what you recommended and instead of the ATF I had fork oil from some bike fork rebuilds I had done recently. I' m going to be wondering how that bumper got in there for years to come . Thanks again.

I just watched this video as I am changing the oil on mine, which looks exactly the same as yours, but yours looks in better condition 😅

[rumblingram]

Thank you very much for showing this. It helped a lot. 👍👏💪

PROTIP about old rusty steel-wheeled trolly-jacks: Re-OIL the 4 wheels, and 2 casters while you are restoring it.
