Tim,

I have a Craftsman 2 1/2 ton floor jack.  Several years ago it quit 
lifting.  It blew
the seals.  I found a seal kit on line by searching for the jack 
model number.  The
seal kit fits a bunch of jacks.  Seems to me I paid about $50 for the 
seal kit.  After
I did that, I thought why did it do that?  I had bought a dad a new 
floor jack for
Xmas around the same time and it was only $60.  But now I haven't seen a floor
jack for under $100.  So after I finish a few more of the projects on 
my list, I want
to rebuild that floor jack.

if it is a good

If you don't want to do it yourself look around your area for any 
hydrolics repair
shop.  They can probably do it for you.  You don't want to pay the 
shipping cost
round trip to send it out for repair.
