I have a Harbor Freight crane, the bigger/taller one with a hand-cranked winch.
My son got it for me several years ago and it has been used almost daily.
Lately, the hydraulic jack has started leaking fluid.
First, it started dripping around the little "ON/OFF" screw-thingie whenever the screw was turned in to LIFT position.
Now, it has also starting pouring freely around the pump-shaft.
So long as there is fluid in the reservoir, the jack is a strong as ever.
I have searched and searched online for a replacement jack; all I find are much longer.
Are these leaks something I can repair myself ??
If not, where am I going to get a replacement jack ??
Thanks.
