For those who are not aware, on a typical self contained hydraulic jack,
the outer round tube is *not* the outside of the hydraulic cylinder, it
is a fluid tank that is coaxial to the cylinder. This is not true for
units where the pump is separate from the cylinder and connected by a
hose.

Which reminds me...anyone in So. Cal know of a jack rebuilding house
in the Pomona/Santa Ana areas?

I was given a FAV (italian) "bench top" 20 ton hydraulic press, that
has blown seals in the ram. I just need some seals.

Oh..and the Viet that took it apart lost the valve stem for the
pump..and the gizmo that the internal retract spring attaches too.
But those should be managable to make up.

Through that rubber ditty up near the top?? If so, how would one get oil

there???

Yep, the rubber "ditty" (I call them hole plugsG). Use a nozzled bottle,
and squirt it into the hole.

('tis messy when you overfill, too! Make sure the ram's DOWN on the last
fillup)

It's better to be a red person in a blue state
than a blue person in a red state. As a red
person, if your blue neighbors turn into a mob
at least you have a gun to protect yourself.
As a blue person, your only hope is to appease
the red mob with herbal tea and marinated tofu.
