I picked up a jack that looks almost exactly the same. I think it may be from a Ford, but who knows. Thanks to your video I may have to crack open my jack.

Your like my mechanics, keep up the good work with interesting restorations like this. By the way you should have painted the jack Red.

I like to try to match the original colors whenever possible. These came in plum and goldenrod. I tried to match the goldenrod as best as I could from photos. I think it matched pretty well.

Rusty metal to usable tool in less than 10 minutes, LOL nicely done, sir. Nicely done.

Were those screws JIS? Some of them look buggered up from a phillips bit.

Probably. I don't think this thing has ever been taken apart. Probably just damage from the rust.

I like the way you found solutions to the issues. Is there a reason for you didn't paint it with etcher primer before the yellow coat?

@AcmeRestorations

Yes. Great question. In my experience, enamel with enamel hardener straight on cast steel doesn't need primer. I've never had it come off. Since it's rough casting, and not going to sand, no need for primer. Thanks for watching.

nice job 😁👍 one question tho, why use oil instead of coating the bearing surfaces with lithium grease? i remember when people used to complain about stuff made in Japan, but now I would rather have that than made in China, preferably made in USA but gonna take a long while for that to happen again 😁👍 thanx fir the vids 😁👍🇺🇲🙏

Yeah, white lithium grease would have made sense. I used oil just because these originally had oil in them. If I weren't making a restoration video, I'd probably just sprayed everything with lithium grease. (also I prefer the smell of lithium grease :). ) Thanks for watching.

Did you use a gasket when placing the main housing on to the base? 7:52

Did you use a primer before you painted the exterior color?

Nope. Enamel with enamel hardener straight onto the cast steel. No need for primer.

Awesome video as always !! Question, how do you decide between sandblasting or rust remover? Meaning, is there a specific criteria like the level of rust or is it just a personal choice?

@AcmeRestorations

3 жыл бұрын

That's a great questions. Personal preference. I don't usually use rust remover unless there is a LOT of rust, or maybe it's something that I am going to paint and use. I almost never use it for restoration videos. I like to get down to clean metal and the sandblaster does a great job. Also, the blaster is really fun and satisfying to use :) Thanks for watching.

No gasget needed around the base ?

No. And it doesn't leak. The tolerances are tight on this thing; the Japanese do make some nice tools!

That gear oil will leak out. I think you should have used grease. Nice restoration, wrong lubrication.

Gear oil? Wrong choice. Yes, those are gears but it's not a transmission or differential with high rpm's. That oil will leak out. Some grease should have been used.

"Gear Oil (Because I know somebody's going to ask)"....Ahhhh, yes, but what weight gear oil? Yes, there's always got to be that one guy.....In all seriousness, you do awesome restorations, very meticulous and always on point, but what the hell was Mitsubishi (or Zuden) thinking, when they picked Goldenrod???? That is a terrible color! The shade you went with looks yellow on my screen, which isn't bad. The only reason I don't like the original color is because I grew up in the 70s and 80s, and everything seemed like it was either Goldenrod, Avocado or Harvest Orange, I even had a set of bedsheets that incorporated all those colors! At least we had good music.

Цвет почти что такой , как будто перекрасил . Понятно что это не так

Those would have had grease not gear oil in them.

Damn, the surface is really rough from the rust eating away at it, it's usually best to use filler on something like that, but it's not my jack lol.

I think it's also just rough from the casting. As well as the rust. I'm not putting body filler onto a tool I intend to use though. Just going to chip off.

First.

I'm working on a Tonka Mighty Truck, should I paint it original color or custom? Original is the color you have her (yellow)

@BillsWorkbench

It's your truck do what you want. I two that I want to get done, a model 1050 and model 50. The 50 I am having a hard time deciding because the play wear looks so good. But the 1050 will be a full custom. It all depends on what you want to look at in your collection. The only thing you can't undo is physical modification and real patina, paint can be redone anytime.

If you want a museum grade restoration do the color match, if you just doing it for fun paint what ever color you want. The last Tonka I did was painted for a machine grey color and I think look stunning. You are welcome to be a judge, check it out for reference. Have fun
