I did work on the floor jack last summer.

.
.
Not a lot.  I figured out where the fluid went, drained what was in there, replaced it.  Did a few other things.  Couldn't get it to work.  I thought I looked for the model number, and manufacturer.  If I found them I don't remember, couldn't find the seals kit, or... something.  I would like to get that working.

I bought a new one.  Even so, I would like to get the old one working.  Why?  Could, sometimes, use two.  Though as much to learn how to take care of kit.  It is far cheaper (usually) and often quicker (to repair compared to save up to replace) some equipment.  Sometimes things can't be repaired.  The kit doesn't exist... some no-names just haven't created a kit, or one was never made.  Or the problem isn't something that can be solved by a kit.  Or it just doesn't make economic sense... a new piece of equipment is cheaper than a repair, or much faster to obtain when time is more valuable than the difference in costs.

Plus, I just like tinkering.  Sure, I have a dozen things planned.  But, in truth, I will be lucky to have enough money for parts, energy to work over everything else I have to do, and such, to do a few things a month.  But, if I can find a parts kit, this would be a cheaper project.  Though it might take a lot of energy.  We'll see.

I just... I want to get it back in operation.  And, maybe, regain just a bit of function.  Learn a bit about things.  And have the satisfaction of having done something worthwhile.  I might even just give it away.  Or not.  Later.
