This falls more under repair it yourself. I have a Home depot 22 ton bottle jack that is not working. This is a Husky. The thing is a couple of years old, and has not seen alot of use.
I went to use it the other day, and it would not jack or hold a load. After some diagnosis, it appears the problem is that oil is leaking into the cylinder sleave. If I jack it up (no load) and push it back down, oil appears between the piston and the sleave.
Being the Yankee I am, I thought I would try and fix it before throwing it away. Is that possible? I have no idea where to get parts for it, but it looks like every other no-brand jack out there, so I assume it is common. The thing cost about 50 bucks, is it even worth it? TIA!
