I love this ! Great job.

I have this one to i really like this model. But mine is much dirtier

Dam 25 yr old oil, that thing is gummed 😂

need to do away with the music. hard to hear what your saying . other than the music, good video. thanks for posting.

Nice video thank you for the comparison

I got this same jack at a garage sale for $10! It looks like it’s never been used.

My jack is 15 years old , i drained and refilled it , now it wont jack up. It a floor jack …I keep checking the fill and bleeding it yet no luck ..

I am replacing this but my replacement thermostat does not include the rubber gasket thing around it. Is it still fine to install without the gasket?

Great video. Thank you!

It was my 16th birthday and my mom took me down to the Sears store in Glendale back in 1976 and bought me this exact 328 Floorjack and a set of wrenches that I still own to this day. They both have served me well. Thx Mom RIP!

Very helpful, thanks pal. My trolley jack is fit for more years to come 👍🏼

When my ancestors hunted dinosaurs, they had the same jack... they really last

Use a straw next time to fill it🤷🏼‍♂️

Thank you

Very useful and helpful. Thank You!

I have the Chinese jack and always wondered how to change the hydraulic oil. I'm ignorant when it comes to auto mechanics 🤦🏿‍♂️

Haha.. love it with the the dinosaur gag

I have an old floor jack that's over 30 years old. It spent most of the last 20 years outside usually under a car. It quit working today even though it was full of oil. It has foam in it and I decided to drain it it appeared as though it had water in it. After draining and refilling it, I pumped at several times to get the air out. It would not jack up, I watched your video and saw you lift it by hand slowly and put it back down. Pump to get the air out again this time when I tightened it, the Jack pumped up thanks for the video, looking it up by hand was what I was missing. 6:16

Excellent Video 3 Thumbs Up for Dad Jokes! 🤣

Man he took great care me having a career 1st job doing tires when split rims on big rigs. And bias ply tires nylon cord were the rage. I watched the radials begin using radial tubes on flats when the repairs in holes too big to plug n patch radial patched. We would powder up the tire after we aired up the tire removed the obtrusion plug hole and radial patch it then place a tube (radial tube) to add support the repair in the tire tread hole that would possibly tear on single ply radial .

I have one dad bought new 1975. I worked in garages since 1982 to 2004. I'm not sure mij. It's a beast underated in wwl. Like the 1974 Crosby Montgomery ward 26 in self propelled mower with a deck like a tractor that has fly wheel n spindle the momentum will walk thru 2 foot high grass never stall. It's a beast with 5hp Briggs n Stratton cast iron cylinder commercial industrial again under rated the 6.5 or even 8hp modern Briggs are smaller and aluminum. Vintage tools steel and design was made to last forever n be rebuilt. To buy that mower with 3/16 thick deck and frame is 3 Xs thicker. Than today's junk. And that mower is a beast cutting our 3/4 acre zoysia lawn for 27 yrs b4 Dad's body wore out with knees n hips n shoulders replaced so he bought a tractor. And now I use it as back up for our new bobcat zero turn and the frame n deck are comprebable. Only it costs 5500$ and Dad bought that commercial industrial cylinder in 1974 at Montgomery wards bargain basement on Monroe St Baltimore MD for 80 $ ITS DRIVE IS HIGH WHEEL True SOIKE WITH ROLLER GEARS THAT COGS THAT PROPELLED THE REAR TIRES. VINTAGE TOOLS ARE THE BEST.

So, I have been familiar with these jacks since the early 80's, although I never owned one until a few days ago. I was riding around my neighborhood and spotted a pile of stuff that had been set on the street for the city to pick up...... Well, I recognized the color and white handle immediately, it was like a lightning bolt to my memory. 60 seconds later and it's in my possession and headed home. The lock/unlock gears were locked up, they were easily freed up and working again, but it's not lifting. I'll add fluid and if that doesn't work, I'll buy the rebuild kit. Sears made these jacks in several sizes, I suspect that they were all the same jack, just different labels. Thanks for posting a video on this great jack.

Warning! The plug will blow off under pressure if you overfill😵

Good deal NYC or NJ guy lol

Thanks, Joey.

I believe I have the older sister. Mine is 12001?

Big ups to you bwoy

Should have use a straw to be less messy.

Great video...DONT MEAN TO OFFEND YOU...I did exactly what you did as describe in your video ages ago.....This was the HARD WAY...THE EASY WAY....Was just REMOVE THE BATTERY and you have all the easy SPACE to remove ( with a long nose pliers for clamps) just 1of the radiator hose and the 2 10mm bolts that hold the thermostat... You have soooo much easy access space by just removing the battery....You dont even need to remove the electrical wiring...and you will find out when you remove one of the radiator hose connected to the thermostat....you wont actually lose not even half a gallon of anti freeze...And my FINAL ADVICE....YES....PUT A J.B.WELD WATERPROOF GASKET SEALER....I learned the hard way when i replaced my thermostat the 1st time ( without putting a gasket sealer ) only the black OEM rubber gasket.....And soon...i get LEAKS. from the housing....AND THATS WHY I LEARNED TO REPLACE THE THERMOSTAT ( REMOVE BATTERY EASY WAY )... Once again...thank you for putting this video...This is how I learn from Good considerate people like you....WITHOUT YOU AND OTHERS....I would never learn to fix my cars and save money....Thank you SIR....🌟😆👍👋

there is a second screw on the right side of the jack (you can clearly see it at 11:00 of the video). What that screw is supposed to do? Does it have to stay all closed or maybe it has tu be tuned? thank you anyone can give me the answer

I can't believe you actually made me remember the freaking bullworker! I had that, you're right, they were full of shit but you brought back memories for me!

I don't disrespectful but the problem of us manufacturing is that even when they were making TVs they will fail and that's why the Asian markets started getting a lot of their supply also they will make things cheaper cuz it has slave labor labor people that just worked on the complexes all day when almost no pain and very little food so I suppose the person making something for so many years what kind of know how to make it correctly even if they're forced to do it

Best video out there thanks for the help! I really needed this and I subscribed

why repair something which aint broken?

A short piece of 1/4" clear tubing would make filling the cylinder way easier and way cleaner.

If you value your jack then first you should clean all around the cylinder and plug area. You should not get any kind of crud into that oil.

Don't forget us gurls too there fella. ;) Just lost the damn plug lol. I also cut my finger open, but I didn't mess up my manicure so all is good. 👍

I just came across one today... Any one interested in buying in California?

Did you leave the release valve loose or tight when adding oil??

' how come american company never made this pump jackfloor... i have one orange pump jackfloor and put 2 handles on the both side... much help alot

Bought one in the early 1980s and it's still going strong, never changed or added fluid.

You sound like Christopher Walken! Lol

Just found one this week in a local sale. $20 bargain of a lifetime :) Wiped it down, put fresh grease in, and lubricated whatever needed lubricating. Good as new. Just the kind of jack I've been looking for.

This Jack is home to the No Flex Zone.

You see the Chinese crap, Jack's they sell now. Best get a rebuild kit for this jack while you still can. Your going to need it some day.

I need a rebuild kit for that exact jack.

I’m in the Uk and My one came with one full 6.5m long hose and I have an intex 1200gph sand filter pump on a bestway oval pool,and i can’t get mine to move a single bit as if there’s just no suction at all, any ideas?

I found a fairly simple and elegant solution to this today. Look at the main body where the castors mount and you'll see notches. I took the castors off and put a zip tie around the bearing so that the only way to put the castor back on is to line the head of the zip tie up in the notch on the main body. This allows about 10-20 degrees of swivel. The zip tie is tight but I can take my hand and forcefully turn the castor to make it "steer" in a different direction if I want. Anywho, thanks for sharing this video so I would know what problem to fix. I hadn't figured out why it was stopping. Your video sent me down the right path.

I'm building him too but I'm using a 2 liter Coke bottle as the base but man this was a cool build I love it!!!!!

All very nice, but following these rules, just don`t work for my jack.. Don`t know why.. And getting this rubber back in, is near impossible.
