I rebuilt these beasts for 25 years and am glad to say you've done a 98% excellent job. My nitpicks are - You put 29 ball bearings in the caster races, should have been only 28 (they need a little room to roll around easy). From the factory all the pivot points, wheels and saddle stem came fully greased. At '25:10' the rubber plug for the check valve is installed upside down, if it's not leaking now, it soon will be... And finally - The saddle should have been painted white.

Remarkable. One wouldn't think restoring a floor jack would be so intense. So many parts and so many skilled things to do.

When you undid the bearing to the wheel on your vicegrip I couldn't help but smile. Damn fine engineering when you find pristine bearing marbles despite the entire tool being covered in decades of grime and grease. Like, wow. No wonder I love this older built-to-last stuff

I can't believe what I'm seeing!!! I've been use this identical jack at my dad's shop since I was about 20+yrs old! I recognized it right away. I'm going on 61 now, and I still use that jack!! WHOLLY SHIT I'M OLD! And wholly sh#t, it still works with no leaks! (Always kept it maintained since new) I hope someone appropriates this comment. There's lots of memories with dad at the shop, every time I use that jack👍😊 What a good flash back.

This gentlemans dedication to a old car jack is legendary!

And my Wife thinks I over do everything and I’m just a Wee bit on the type “A” obsessive side when it comes to my tools and restorations ! Absolutely beautiful Restoration on that wonderful Hein Werner Floor jack. In my belief arguable Hein Werner along with Walker the best quality hydraulic jacks ever made (Then,when made in the USA) Chinese Jacks ? Junk, IMO.. But be sure not to forget to double up on the jack stands for non USA floor jacks, they will slow leak at times,which anyone who cares not to die under a vehicle should use without fail, USA or off shore purchased and used ! Be safe

It was either buy a lathe, sandblaster cabinet, and make a spray booth, to restore my old floorjack, or, scrap it out, and go buy a new one. Scrap steel pays ok, and, it makes room in the yard. Still love watching someone else do this.

my favorite part was the sand blasting and that is the only part you set to fast forward, I seriously could watch an all sand blasting channel for hours, I cant get enough of it.

That brings back memories. I started in a garage when I left school in 1986. The jack shown here is near enough identical to the first jack I ever used. Same colour even.

Stayed for the whole hour. I like to restore things too. People commenting here have no idea how much labor this took to restore and how much it took to film it all and edit it for this video. Awesome job. 🇺🇲

Unless your a machinist that has all this equipment that’s why we leave it to you to fix. Lol. Great work. I’m impressed.

Thanks for sharing the restoration process with us. Like what you paying attention to the detail. I consider myself as a very detailed man but seem not detailed enough after watching your clip. You are very handy man as well. Seemed like no object that could stop you 😂

Have watched hundreds of restoration like this from dozens of chanels here. This one definitely fits into the gold standard category. Beautifully filmed and refurbished.

Best restoration I have seen. Not simply derust, paint and call it done. Magnificently done! Concerning the jack itself: as George Gobel famously used to say, "you don't hardly get them kind no more."

*_Never thought anyone could recover. The most incredible work of the best_*

My dad has this floor jack and I grew up using it. Great restoration!

The meticulous restoration of each component in this extensive undertaking is truly awe-inspiring. However, what truly captivates me is the exceptional artistry displayed in the video editing, which flawlessly portrays a smooth and seamless progression of the restoration process.

The disassembly in this video is so satisfying! They just don’t make floor jacks like this one anymore.

What I would love to have as I'm watching this is subtitles explaining the different parts as they are being worked on and what is being done. Especially in the beginning disassembly phase I felt as those I was getting whipped around from one piece to another without the context of where that piece was within the larger structure or what the purpose used to be. Even so, I really appreciate the effort that has gone into this video. :)

Thanks for this video. I was gifted one of these jacks in almost pristine condition except for needing a small amount of hydraulic fluid. If it ever needs repair this will be my go to.

Congrats, Wawa. Replace your rubber fuel line with steel that runs behind the fan shroud and over the exhaust and use two smaller pieces of rubber line. It definitely gets hot under there, and that rubber will melt. Do your valve adjustments, and that bug will run forever. Also, check the voltage regulator under the rear seat on the driver's side. Good luck, and once again, Congrats goes to Wawa..

If you do a project like this make sure to soak all the replacement seals in jack oil for a few hours before assembly. Pretty much all hydraulic seals you want to pre soak with the proper oil.

That was a great restoration of that old jack. I am not certain, but I think a shop I worked at had a hydraulic jack just like that or at least similar to it. Now it has a brand new life ahead of it.
