I have always been sucessful at getting any parts from most any
hydraulics repairer. My youngin lost the valve and check assembly from
a 10 ton bottle jack made by Blackhawk that wa probably 25+ years old,
and they had one in stock that fit it and worked fine.

Same for all the cups and seals etc in all my bottle jacks that last
year I got a whim to take apart, and clean up the resivoirs and
replace the seals in. They had everything needed on their shelf, and
this is a one horse town, and it surprised me........
