I had a Walker (the muffler people) hydraulic floor jack (it was actually made by Lincoln) since the mid 1970s. Always worked great. Well, several years ago the seals in the hyd cylinder finally gave out. I found a place in Phoenix that rebuilds them, and it was stupid money. So I went out and bought a Chinese jack from Sears. Every time I used it I was not happy. It worked, but didn't have the same ease of mobility and smooth operation like my 'old friend'. So guess what....I took my old friend to the place in Phoenix and told them "I don't care what it costs, I want it fixed". Of course my wife loves it when she hears me tell people that
Also told them I
DO NOT want it painted....I want all the 'battle scars' left the way they are. Well, they did a great job fixing it and it works as good as it ever did, but I was disappointed that they painted it
Oh well, I got over that quickly.
