/ @ajrestoration So a while ago I got this "Bottle Jack" and two other ones at the recycling yard. I did a restoration on one of them and in my boredom, I decided to make a kind of a how-to video of me repairing this one.
The third bottle jack is unfortunately not fixable since it has been welded shut.
Anyways I hope you enjoy the video.
If you have any suggestions for improvement, or compliments share them below!

Thanks!
Thank you Chris buddy, I really appreciate it!

This is useless how can you make video with silence 😢
@@AJRestoration⁸
You got it 😄
No ego driven drivel, no stupid music......just the sounds of tools against surfaces. Outstanding. I’m going to fix mine. Thanks. Dave in Omaha
Without that stuff then there no video
Also no cussing = fake video
Brilliant idea using a vice to loosen the large top nut. Must remember that trick.
Works a charm!
Gives more leverage too
That's what I call a good teacher, no words needed
Yes, that for us visual learners, it's the best for me too.😃
Love the quite ,no annoying music thank you
My pleasure!
You're right! Stupid, annoying music has ruined many videos.I don't understand why people think that they just have to put music on a video.
Me too these type of videos with just the sounds of the process are the most captivating, btw do you have to strip it down this far to repair it?
With that 2 vices technique for opening up the big nut you just earned yourself my respect, a like and my subscription. Congratulations Sir
I'd use that monkey wrench hanging on the tool board
I have used a long handled pipe wrench or a big assed Crescent wrench.
It's amazing, I repaired my 16 tonne jack to watch your video, now it is perfectly working. Thanks buddy 😁
perfect video, no mindless talk, only explicit visual explanation, and I'm going to give my bottle jack a try at restoring it. Bought an 8 ton for 8$. It has no oil and I have nothing to lose, but some time. Thank you for taking the time to explain the process so clearly.
Note to self and others : When in storage, never lay these jacks on their side - they leak!
My brand new jack leaked into the sparewheel well over the course of a few months.
Thanks to you I managed to save it by a top up bleed. Thank you!!!
I think this might be the best repair video I've ever seen, including pre internet era.
Thank you very much!
Great little video, no excessive talking no daft music. Just good information. Well done. Now time to go fix my car jack lol
Glad you enjoyed it, and good luck!
Thanks for the video, I have an old big hydraulic jack, that my dad bought numerous years before I was born and I just turned 59 a couple of weeks ago and it needs to be fixed . So after watching you rebuild this one, I am going to try to fix my old jack, just mainly because it was my dad's and it being that old . I have 4 more newer jacks, one of them is only about 4 years old and the other 3 are about 20 years old .
🤗👍💫
how did it go?
The vice wrench was great lmao
Tip: you can replace hydraulic oil using mineral or synthetic 15w40 !
They have the same specifications and are less aggressive on the seals. I'm an engineer in hydraulics and we often replace hydraulic oil with 15w40 because it is less harmful to nature.
Oh wow, I wish I knew this before. Thank you, Jerry!
well -- depending on how much one is used - hydro oil has much more antishear and antifoaming agents - and would flow much easier it is said - and why would not a good 30 weight oil be as good if using oil - - a small pump does not need a flow rate additive - nor does it need a more expensive oil - if lazy people would change the oil more often - they could use anything - diesel fuel will even work - if it had additives - it could last forever - just a thought - they were selling replacement oil at harbor freight for a dollar - now Im sure it is 2 dollars -- ahahahahaha - i have a lot of old jacks - 50 tons even - did not know hydro oil was worse than the others for nature - must be some of the additives - cause oil is oil - and most studies on syns have not had enough studies - only that they last longer so they are better - we use less over time - oil company's are the only ones really doing the studies - and they are of course all LIARS -- ahahahaha --- paying trillions to cover up their facts and mistakes - even plastics - beings they are made from petroleum are said to cause cancer - hemp is said to be the best oil on the market - and with additives - they too can last years even --- the oil company's have paid tons to keep it off the market - even though it causes no harm to the environment --- but anyway -- ahahahahaha
@@user-du7pe6pm7d foaming is not an issue as hydraulic tanks are pressurized before feeding the hydraulic pumps, antishear also isn't an issue especially with synthetic oil because hydraulic pumps use butterfly valves to generate pressure and they are made from brass, hydraulic cylinders use seals they never touch metal to metal.
We actually found that replacing hydraulic oil with 15w40 was much softer on the insides of the hydraulic hoses, they often started to peel from the inside as the hydraulic oil was eating them away.
Nonetheless we switched to Castrol biobar duo environmental rules in many countries (I do maintenance for marine excavators the BA1100 in particular but also a liebherr 995 and the liebherr 994 is now replaced with an Hitachi)
Will 15 w40 or mineral oil work on a snow plow ?
@@miman-ck9jv for hydraulics ? yes
Just done this to my motorcycle lift jack. The piston rod had rusted and rust had got in and polluted the oil. I thought the seal might be gone, but once cleaned and refilled with new hydraulic oil it was fine. Wish I'd watched your video first!
EXCELLENT. I love the idea of using a loose bench vice for the large nut on top. I definitely will add that little trick to my "mental tool-box" !!! Very good demonstration ! When you went back and bled the filler hole of air, THAT'S what I haven't done! I subbed.

Never thought of the up side down vise trick , that’s what I call “ thinking out of the box “ .
Great video with full detail. Thank you. What I'd like to know is where can someone get a O-ring kit for bottle jacks?
I really appreciate the closeness of the camera. I can actually see what your doing. Thank-you. I also appreciate you getting right on subject, meaning I didn't have to listen to a long speech about safety glasses, shoes, gloves, etc.(I know all that stuff)

Well worth the time spent watching this video I’ve got a couple under the work bench that I’m gonna have a look at this weekend thanks buddy
Great job. Might try this out on one of my old jacks. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for showing the video,have a good one see ya bye.
Thanks, you too!
Well done, it was as if I was watching myself rebuild it; I have never done it and have one waiting out in the shop. Thank you.
Excellent video ,now i am able to repair my all jacks in my workshop.
That is great to know! Thank you very much!
Very outstanding work.thanks.👍
I have at 15-20 hydraulic jacks that need that done to them. Good information. Thank you
I enjoyed watching the video.interesting n such precise workmanship.that’s how ide do it if I knew .rebuild the entire thing n clean it etc.great job.
very interesting! I learn new things all the time from you.
Glad to hear it!
Thank you, much appreciated! I’ve got a leaky hydraulic jack need to be repaired.
Thanks!
Thank you Frederick! I appreciate it!
Excellent video and a nice change to leave the jack in its current external condition! Great work as always, dude! 🍻🤘💜
Thanks Andy! It is a little refreshing to see something in its current state that works a charm. 👍
Very interesting, I never knew and I always wondered so I appreciate for Sharing with us👌👍
Ok that's cool
Very nice restoration. Thanks
Thank you too!
if you go to a hard ware store make sure you buy the correct o rings they make metric and standard and don't over fill the oil great video
Very professional in explaining in video.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for teaching.
Thanks, helped me rebuild my Harry Moss hydraulic jack. Good editing makes it clear to follow.
Glad it helped buddy! Thank you for the feedback!
Tester needed to set load settings 1.5 ton etc on right side screw.😊
Thanks for the great close up video shots! Tim in northern TN
Good to see you got the most mileage out of that rag
Salamat ... may idea nako pag ayo sa jack..
Had one of the best oldest hydraulic bottle jacks probably there ever was & I can't begin to count the number big Tractor tired & truck tires it lifted After I know 35 yrs probably it started leaking around the seal very little paint was left on it & at the time I just wanted to go buy a new one for my Dad & we turned nthe old one into a door stop After a half dozen uses of the new bottle jack I regretted ever buying it but Computers were just getting started & I didn't know about researching for parts then .
Congratulations.. regards from Athens Greece..
Nice tutorial. Thank you.
thank you so very i never knew how to before now know how fix a floor jack now.🤔
အထူးကျေးဇူးတော်ပါဆရာ..❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊..။။
I see where the O rings came from but there were two special seals, one at the bottom of the body cylinder and one on the piston. Were they replaced? Where did you get them?
Nicely done.
Very nice and straight forward tutor,
When you got the spares to do the work it can b done
Nice content very inspiring and motivational have fun in the Philippines
Ive got a ten ton jack ,I'll have a go at that now ,cheers pal for the vid
Good luck with the jack! I hope this helped.
You saved me money, thank you.❤️❤️❤️🙏🏽
Glad it helped!
Ótimas idéias parabéns
Thank you so much for learning .
nice tutorial.for overahuling jack
A very good understandable video. Thank you. God bless
Great job. ASE Master Technician retired.
Interesting. Our late 60's vintage Sears Craftsman 1.5T floor jack (Made in Japan) has a thick rubber bushing near the base of the main shaft. It got destroyed years ago when my dad loaned the floor jack to a neighbor who tried to lift one side of his Kenworth tractor trailer. About ten years ago I managed to find a seller in Belmont Shores , CA who sold repair kits for various types of hydraulic jacks. I guess the moral of my story is, if you treasure your tools and equipment, don't loan them out because people won't respect them and destroy them, or they will and try to keep them.
Is that seller still in business and do you have a name for him?
It's been about ten years since I ordered the kit from him. I remember his business was at his home in Belmont Shores, CA. I remember his location because it took about ten working days to get the parts to me, just 12 miles away.
Nice vid.
Got to be honest though, it looked like it was just low on oil.
Maybe it would have kept leaking over time but who knows.
Interesting to see how they come apart.
The main seal was leaking a little, a quick fix would be to add oil, but I wanted to see what it looks like inside haha
Where.iwillget, jack, spare
The real tricky part is rebuilding the Jack handle.😄
Well now I know what the inside of a jack looks like I won't have to take it apart, I'll just add oil if it leaks a little. =)
Great pictorial but these things are so cheap nowadays it’s not worth the time to do this.
Very good Job 👍
Great work as always
Thanks again!
Nice repair, AJ! 🔧
Thanks! 👍
Where do you find the O rings and seals ? They are not a common item in hardware stores. I really want to know
Very good friend. Hugs from Brazil.
Great Job 👍!!
I see there was oil on top of the piston cup when you disassembled the ram, why did you not replace the piston seal? That looked like it was the problem!
The Vice Wrench is genius
Thanks for the rebuild
tune in next week !!!¡!!!!¡
great job
Gee that cleaning solvent worked good
It's probably just slow and oil put some stop leak in there too it's good for the rubber seals
Good video,👍👍👍where did you buy the seals?
Thank you in advance.
Nice work!
Thanks!
he sure likes pumping on that little shaft.
Wow great job 👏👏
Thank you! 😊
I have a small collection of the older Jack's from the 70,s. You can't beat the old Walker Jack's and also an old sears jack all made in USA. I personally do not trust the made in China Jack's for they are poorly made. So don't discard Grandpa's old jack lol. Thank you for sharing this video 👍
I am glad you liked the video, I agree, I also don't really trust most things that comes from china, especially if its something that can kill you.
awesome dude, thanks
Thank you too buddy!
Este video merece mas de un LIKE.
I like your vice grips! 😳🤣👍👍
Hahahaha they work a charm!
Well done an thanks for teaching this old one something new an useful yakoke
Glad you enjoyed it
This is helpful, thank you so much!
That tiny steel ball. During breakdown of the jack it was removed from the left hole, during assembly it's first put into the right hole, then the video is cut and it's re-done with the ball in the left. So was that a redo / edit without removing the incorrect step ?
Just asking cause I have the identical jack and now it's not working anymore.
great video thanks
Was not expecting all the ball bearings was expecting a pen valve system like I see on other small engines
Esse sim fez um passo a passo legal
Did you change the seal on the main piston?. It looked a little flat to me. If a replacement isnt readily available maybe a little tread tape on the inside channel would give it more bulk and reduce oil blow-by.
Thanks just what i was looking for
❤❤❤ great video I tell you ❤❤❤I have learnt a lot 🎉🎉🎉 now where to get those sills😮
Big like for nice job 👍👍👍👍
Oh this video is primed n in depth way way over my capabilities. Your very good but I'd have to pass n pay for a new one. Time is very limited in my week.
Sorry to hear that, yes this is a rather time consuming process. In that case buying a new one is the better option, they are really cheap to buy new most of the time.
The new maintenance standard for out of warranty Harbor Freight jacks. :}
Bien instructivo excelente gracias
Great job
Nice job 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice video dear friend! 👌Have a happy weekend! 😊👍4
Thank you! Cheers!
Solo comento que la prueba que hizo, comprobando que la pieza estaa averiada no tenía el fluído pór lo tanto sin él no funcionaría ni nueva q' sea.
Nice. Thanks for your time........
Nice restoration
Thank you!
That jack was jacked up but it is in working order for you fixed it yeah buddy 😎
You got that right!
@@AJRestoration yeah buddy 😎 . some of the people would say Chuck the one that is broken and buy a new one . You on other hand take a broken one of those and fix it saving the money 💵 to use for other stuff
I hate throwing things in the trash if it could be fixed or restored. That is why the metal recycling yard is my playground haha
