Hydraulic jack question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

ChevLoRay · 01-19-2011, 12:12 AM

I have a Craftsman 1 1/2-ton floor jack that I bought in '82. I believe the seals are now bad in the pump. Sears doesn't list it in their parts system anymore. This jack was built in Japan, so I have faith that there are parts to do repairs, so just looking for anyone who may have any experience with these jacks.

(Mods, if this needs to go to another forum, have at it. I didn't find one that looked good)

Thanks. I sent them an email with the catalog nr from my jack, to see if they have any parts info. Appreciate the link.

Check out a hydraulic pump service in you area. They can rebuild that thing at a reasonable cost.

The link that was sent, never did produce any information. It's as if they don't care.

Its probably cheaper to buy a brand new 3 ton than it is to rebuild an old 1.5 ton. You should be using a 3 ton anyhow if your picking up truck and heavy vehicles.
