The restoration began with dismantling the jack. This involved removal of all of the axles, clips and major functional pieces. I then degreased everything before removing all of the red paint with paint stripper. During the paint stripping process, I also remove an old warning sticker with a chisel. I then moved onto dismantling the smaller bits like the piston and bracket from the socket piece. Once most of the paint, dirt, and grease were off, I blasted pretty much everything with 120 grit aluminum oxide and etch primed shortly after to protect the metal from rusting now and in the future. Once that was dry, I high-build primed all of the main metal parts. Once they were dry I sanded down them with 400g and then 800g wet and dry sandpaper. This prepared them for the coats of blue and black that followed. Once the primed parts were prepared for paint, I painted all of the red parts blue and the black pieces black again. I then lacquered the blue parts to protect the water-based paint and also make the pieces shine. Whilst all of that was drying I set about electroplating the axles, nuts, and bolts that needed it.
So, I'm still learning and my setup is amateur at best, but the idea is to coat the freshly blasted/cleaned metal piece with zinc and then dye them with either gold or silver/blue passivate. It's called Electrogalvanization. Electricity from the battery travels to the two anodes you see in the far right bucket, across the saline/zinc solution and onto the pieces that need plating. These parts are attached to a conductive wire, which is connected to the ruler, which is connected to the negative side of the battery. This causes zinc to leave the anode and attach to the part. I can control the current and therefore the speed and quality of the plating using a rheostat.
A starter kit can be found here from the UK - www.gaterosplat...
Once all of the pieces were plated and passivated I moved onto the front wheels. These were stuck in their carriers with a squashed axle that I couldn't remove, so I kept them in there. Firstly I removed all of the rust and chipped paint from the wheels. I then placed the wheels in some vice holes and painted them with a brush. Whilst they were drying I polished all of the bare metal pieces on a bench drill with a steel wire wheel. During my time out of the workshop, I was trying to find a photo of the sticker that was on the jack, as the one I had was completely ruined. I was having a really hard time doing so. So much so, I had to create one using a photo of the one originality on the jack in Photoshop. It came out a little pale but looks great on the finished piece. Once everything had dried, including the passivate which cannot be touched for 48 hours. It was then a case of reassembling everything. During this process, I added new circlips, ball bearings, and grease. Once everything was back together. (I accidentally put the leveling arms on the wrong axles attached to the saddle, I have fixed this now) All that was required was new hydraulic fluid. This didn't arrive in time and this video had been delayed already so I'll just add it when it arrives. The reason I did not change the seals on the hydraulic pump, is because the jack worked perfectly with no sagging before the resto. The jack is also no longer used and was done solely for the video.

Please never change.. this is the kind of videos many people really appreciate: No music, barely or none speak and a lot of hard work with a huge satisfaction at the ending.
Greetings from Mexico City.
This is great content. I think all the clickbait channels will die off, this one will continue to thrive. Almost done watching all his videos. 10/10, love the attention to detail.
Yes I totally agree. The music is either perfect or totally horrible. Best to just leave it out and it’s easier to do so. Love this thank yo so much!

Just sometimes A LITTLE BIT of commentary makes it more interesting, but you're right in that there's nothing worse than that stupid, s##t "music" or Dubsteap crap to ruin the video, and too much yak, chat clap, trap crap dose my head in 😒☹️😡😠😤😬🔥🌋☠️ BIG TIME!!
Hard to believe it isn't straight out of the factory. I don't know how long this restoration took but the results are magnificent.
It doesn't look restored, it looks brand new, you do a truly amazing job!
Remaking the sticker in Photoshop because you couldn’t find another really shows the extra mile and effort, good job man. Great work!
its 2 am and i dont even know why im still watching this but damn thats one fine floorjack
Olli Hakkarainen I literally just did the same thing
Close to 1am for me and did the same lol I was hypnotized
same but 2.13 am :D
imagine how Restore It felt doing it!!! 0.0 :D
It was exactly 2 am when I read your comment.
I love that it's quiet - just the tools and some solid restoration. Hope to see more like this!
Liam O'Sullivan Amen to non music videos!
hand tool rescue also does videos like this, no music.
Pickle Tickle That’s how I found this guy’s channel 😉👍🏻
Please, don't skip sandblasting parts, I would love to see them in every video :)
Looking forward to see it :)
ugh?? what's up with the sandblasting? Nice video.
I just want to see more sandblasting, in video he only showed before and after, the process was not included
Stress free for 16 mins thanks dude u a amazing majority love these kind of video no talking no music no time wasted full of fun watching it
Just found my new binge watching channel!
I really appreciate that you took the time to reproduce the manufacturers label and decal. That's dedication.
If the person who engineered that jack only knew how beautiful it would look one day in the hands of one owner...
As soon as you took the handle out of its holder, I could tell that this is a quality tool.
I love these videos, you do an amazing job restoring! I wouldn't use it afterwards tbh 😂 just leave it in the garage to make it look nice, and just buy another jack lmao
ThatCarGuy ahaha i know looks way too good to use
ส
the restoration technique this person uses is another level, lots of details, lots of tools and lots of expertise. LOVED IT
Thank you!! Get subbed I'm going to be doing some how to's!
Great jog, however I just wanted to see how the Hydraulic seals were reconditioned/ replaced
*J O B* ✨
Me too.
Im a painter. It was nice to see you sealed the sand blasted metal before priming it. No body does that. They usually go from sand blasted straight to primer. Good resto my man.
You should have more subscribers it speaks to all men on so many levels very satisfying this is what i love doing I'm into an old lawnmower at the moment
You have amazing talent and and eye for attention to detail. I am currently restoring a 2001 Dodge Ram 1500. 4x4. Like you, I wanted to learn everything I could during the process (engine and transmission rebuild, suspension, bodywork and paint). The only part I am sourcing out is the upholstery. I admire your work and you inspire me to keep forging ahead with my own project.
I have OCD and these videos calms my mind....i thank you!
Mostly because he always tackles the projects in the correct manner. Thoroughly documenting the tear down and then stripping all parts properly and then coating them for future use either with durable paints or elctrocoating.
If you have ocd this should drive you crazy, he never changes the seals in the pump, it's like putting a motor with 200k in a brand new corvette.
It should drive your OCD nuts. He didn't restore this jack, he painted it.
@@dannynewedge0290 It's even more dangerous now, someone will think it's new and trust it more.
@@dannynewedge0290 only infinitely less of an issue
Such a nice work, a calm video....relaxation and seeing old things with quality being renewed....
Awesome! the plating on the screws was killer!
Amazing. Same model as I bought my Dad in 1986 and only thrown away recently as the seals were leaking ( it had a hard life). His was almost the same shade of blue that you chose to do this on in. First class.
Beautifully done. A pleasure to watch.
Something very satisfying about taking an old worn out tool such as a floor jack and making it new again, thnx.
Very nice! I feel like the labor that went into that is worth way more than the jack itself, but that is fun in its own way and I would do the same if I had those skills and equipment.
Restore It cvghj
This video is so fascinating and soothing to watch. The sped up video and all the little clicks and taps and bird noises makes me think I’m watching a stop motion short. I love this.
That's what I call a proper restoration job.
I love the way you galvanized those bits, that's genius. So glad I stumbled upon this channel.
i just found this channel..OMG your restoration projects are so well-restored..and on top of that i love the ideas that you have on restoring stuff...you'r the bestt!!
Also i wanted to mention that it would be nice if you were showing us in the last clip what you restored in action!
I thought I was fastidious. And then you show me another level. Very impressed.
I am going to have to start making these videos. At least the first half of them so I can see how to put my projects back together again.
Do you think he just works out how to fit it back together, or references photos or film? I know it will be easy for some, but after time away you can easily forget which little part goes where or on which side.
An awful lot of parts for a tool that looks so simple but satisfying to see the process and results. Great job 👍
Excellent video fantastic job! This content proves that you clearly Got Game. you've got mad Workshop skills. my only question is this. do you own or operate a business that focuses on restoration?? Restoration of any kind Automotive or otherwise! because if you don't, then you need to be. the fact that you put this much work into the restoration of a jack! a car jack!! It now looks better than it would have brand new. Also how long did that whole process take from tear down to reassembly?? You were so detail-oriented removing every clip pin and spindle replating the bare metal parts primer and painting and even clear coating the rest. mind blown
Restore It man I got to say I am totally impressed with your work. your attention to detail is astounding. I swear if I was working and had a paying job right now I would have a project that I would ship to you to have you redo. assuming of course your technical ability would allow such a detail operation. If I had the money I'd likely send it to you just to see if it would be within your skill set. though it would likely take more time then a floor jack did. I'm sure you would have a field day restoring an outmoded parking meter!! Hats off to you sir. I'll likely watch the remainder of your videos tonight before hitting the pillow. what's on the docket for your next restoration project????
Restore It omg I can't wait for that video. You Rock sir!! If you where anyware near where I live I shake your hand. Keep up the good work.
A proper restoration, not just a refurbishment. Nice work
First video that I watched from this channel... satisfaction was huge so I smashed that subscribe button. 👍
Unbelievable amount of work for a floor jack.
Your work ethic is unmatched, having said that.. it's just a tool
These videos are incredibly satisfying to watch. Keep it up!
This is how a total rebuild should be! No music and non or a bit commentary for crucial info 👍🏻 100% .. You will get a big A+ from the jury 😉
Brand new, you have skills and ambition
I love this. Obviously inspired by handtool rescue but his videos are more about vintage tools and yours are about anything, even some car parts. It's like double the uploads. Keep it up
Are you restore for a living? Seems like the most satisfactory job.
These restore videos are super satisfying
Increíble, Extraordinario, Magnifico, Soberbio trabajo!. Felicidades y Gracias por subir el video, no pude dejar de verlo de principio a fin. Saludos desde Coahuila México.
Just the sheer level of efficacy in restoring this particular product to ”as new” status attests to your level of quality work. Keep on with the good work.
Your restorations are great. I suggest you move on to larger projects. Get a older car like an old VW, or something like that, and refurbish it from top to bottom. My wife, my adult son and I actually actually did a project like that. Not for any reason other then to see if we could. It looked like new when we were finished. Stripped down to the bare metal and everything was rebuilt, reupholstered, carpeted, wired and body work and painted. You look like you would love doing that. JMHO
Restore It love the e30, was my first car, but pretty "well used" when I got it. Poor 3.18i it saw better days, and it blew up one day haha. They can appreciate in value too apparently. Would also enjoy seeing yours brought to life.
There is a full-length VW Beetle restoration that I watched yesterday. Was that yours?
My favorite restoration because I personally love hydraulic jacks! Eventually will do a work along when I get the supplies.
better than a new one!! would love to own it!
I bought a 50 to 60 year old multi ton jack heavy steel like 70 lbs.for 60 dollars,new at least 800.took it apart lubed/greased it and 5.49 in hydraulic jack oil.and it moves unreal and works incredible,with awesome strength. Did not paint it as it's a old stud of o jack!!
I found you on the trending page, creator on the rise section. Awesome job!
anyone else feel like they found this channel too soon? I already watched all of the videos and want more so relaxing to watch!
9k subs you need much more this channel will blow up soon
A very good sympathetic renovation of a very useful car jack that any DIY car/truck owners would be be proud to have in his garage,well done and keep up the brilliant restoration / renovation coming,gets my thumbs up without a doubt
Dude you're like the wizard for clean cool stuff!!!
Some just see a jack and think what’s the point?! I see a dying art. It’s great to see there’s still people out there that understand the satisfaction of being able to make anything look brand new again. Good work, keep doing your restore thing!
The confusion when there was no bearings in the other wheel😂
its so cool to see this guy restore this old car jack amazing stickers and everything
I love your presentation of the entire video and you don't use stupid music! I don't sub to many channels but I will sub to this.
Hey man, I love how you restored this car jack. I especially felt proud how you took so much time & care into every minute detail, even replacing the company logo sticker on the finished product. Good job man...I mean that.
You're an artist dude
Lately I've been thinking about old gods and magic and stuff
I'm starting to feel like our science has reached the level of magic. This jack is so straightforward, so simple but does its job amazingly. Many simple concepts added in, at first sight looking simple, then when you go in and take things apart it becomes complicated but after that it becomes simple again
lol it's almost 2 am and i cant stop watching !! Awesome job,big like for the chanel.
This is easily my new favourite CZcams channel. Awesome stuff.
Nice!
Thats pretty evident....
Hand Tool Rescue | Humble and gracious of you. Kudos to you.
drill press wire wheel...
What a nub! He repacked his bearings with grease instead of Nutella! LOL
Hand Tool Rescue do you not have a problem with him copying your channel to such a great extent.
an absolute top quality refurbishment of a very useful piece of equipment,superb finish and I'm sure you were well pleased with the final result,definatley gets my thumbs up
Your vodeo just popped up randomly i definitely subscribed great work. Looks too good to ise now 😁

Man, watching this spoke to me on levels I didn't even know existed. I'm hooked and ready for more!
Great job. I'm restoring an very old Craftsman 3.5ton myself right now. Glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks a jack is worth the time and effort. Your yellow chromate looks good. Who did you get it from?
Jim
Not sure why I'm watching this at 4 am, but great work none the less!
thanks for no fkn regueton or heavy metal noise, (professional job)
Use a thin strip of wood to scrape off paint stripper without gouging the metal. Works a treat
Great restoration. Reminds me i need to bleed my bottle jack one of these days. I especially like the zinc plating.
If you want a fun trick for brass plating without any special tools, heat up a part cherry hot and then hit it with a clean brass wire brush or wheel, the brass will transfer to the steel or aluminum (but it will ruin a temper if the part had one)
You already have most of the kit required to powdercoat too!
Don’t know why I just watched this, but it was interesting to say the least. Would you be interested in restoring one of mine? I have my grandfather’s 10 ton jack from the 40’s - 50’s he used as a mechanic. I’ve been wanting to get it restored as it’s one of the only things I have of his...
Did this happen? Video?
Looks great! I was a little worried when I saw the plunger hole open when you were scraping the dirt and paint off, but no ham done!
Awsome job
Dallas Woiken they terk er Jurbs!
Rocky Velasco this isn't south Park 😂😂😂
What a nice surprise!
Very good, my friend. Thank you for your work.
I have exactly this floor jack, but it is a Ratio brand.
A little suggestion. You have inserted the thin tube into the thick tube of the lever 12:03 on the wrong side and therefore the black plastic handle on the opposite end 12:09. Very easy to solve.
The screws supporting the 15:23 nameplate are originally slotted round heads.
I'm learning too.
Very useful, thanks again.
I wanna see ads on your videos, your content is way too good to not be making money
Theres five fucking ads on this video
Granddog08rules there are ads here
Good grief
haha so funny.. i prefere realism befor politics to.. logic first ;)
@@roberthayes6329 see you then fool , costs a fortune to restore something you need to get something back . if your not displaying ads your a fool everyone needs money to survive ffs .
For some strange reason, I find these very relaxing to watch, Please keep up the awesome restores. Thanks for sharing
Randomly came across this and damn my dude great job!
Awesome video. The absolute best part is that you don't talk during the taping or add music later. Just the sound of the work being done edited a bit like the DiResta style. Relaxing and enjoyable. The one thing that bothered me a tiny bit was the volume level of the higher frequencies. Other than that great job and great video.
(In the voice of Montgomery Burns) "Excellent..."
Amazing work - I still have one of these Jacks….must be over 30 years old now
been binge watching your videos, great work, really wished you would show the restored items being used at the end though. subscribed.
Brilliant finish.
Ive read the jack is no longer in use, pity.
When you put it back together dont forget to grease the pivot points, that's where most of the load acts.
Spend an hour or 2 cleaning up or replacing the glass on your bead blast cabinet, after that cover it to protect it from overspray.
Led strip lights and a vacuum dust removal system will greatly improve your visibility.
Hydraulics, well it was leaking, it would have been nice to see the ram resealed, maybe an idea for a future video.
Keep up the good work.
Just one thing: you NEVER reuse old split pins. Always replace with new ones. Old ones straightened up have already weakened and will fail.
Love it. I'm a designer and shop monkey, and aspire to this level of competency. Thank you for posting all!!
Very nice work! Keep it up. Did I miss the part where you put the oil back in?
Brilliant restoration a guy with a very keen eye to detail I would personally replace the hydraulic piston seals even if they where not leaking just in case they may need replacing in the near future
New subscriber here :)
That jack looks to good to be used again :p
It became beautiful!
It is a metal engineer of hydraulic manufacturer in Japan.
Products of this category were disassembled and investigated all overseas.
The Jack section is the correct answer without dismantling.
However, it was a mistake to pull out oil.
Products made in Japan will operate even at -40 degrees.
When reassembling, what oil did you put in?
If dirt is mixed in the jack part, suction valve failure, delivery valve failure, causing a dangerous condition.
Introduction of movie is good, but it is dangerous, display is also necessary.
Damn that Jack looks so dope 😍😍
Nice work!
I bought almost the exact same jack a few years ago for $120.
I wish I had your skills and talent.
damm that was so nice great job
Nice restoration and a BIG thumbs up for NOT playing any CRAPPY MUSIC
You showed draining the hydraulic fluid, but not refilling it.
So the question is, does it even lift, bro? ;)
я тоже об этом подумал! А работает ли?)

Quality workmanship
This video is so satisfying. They all are really. When I just want to relax and watch something calming and interesting. This is it for me. Thanks for the great videos.
amazing video!
You notice the battery you're using for electroplating? It should never be left sitting on concrete. You need to place some wood underneath it, otherwise it will prematurely ruin the battery... Superb restoration and an excellent choice of paint color... WELL DONE!!! 10/10
