so i scored this free pallet jack from a friend were he works . they wouldnt take it back for scrap so he said screw it and wanted it gone . he texted me and i went right down for it .

she would barley pump up with zero load and would drop fast . wasnt leaking any fluid but was damp all over from ozzing out .

i ordered a master re-build kit off ebay for 55.00 shipped and spent 2 hr's tonight for my first ever hydro pump rebuild job . the main lift piston seal was in about 20 chunks in the bottom of the pump body oil cavity . she was just worn out and fell apart .

no pics of the job but it was fairly stright forward other than i sure could have used a pair of lonnnng reach snap ring plyers but i got it anyway .

here is the unit and then the test was picking the rear end / back end of a 1973 mustang off the shop floor .

should do me good around here for some jobs coming up soon . need to get a pair of wheels for the jack end . there cracked bad . also has a broken grease zerk in a pin .

I was a bad guy when I was younger. We used to use them as scooters and have pallet jack races. Security was not pleased.
 
Pallet jacks are nice to have, I have a free one. The linkage to the front wheels was bent and broken. They can take up some space but worth it.
 
My 6600# cost me $700. Already has a welded bracket snap off. You can clearly see it was a cold weld. Lame. Other then that which I’ll weld repair it’s done great. Never thought I’d own a pallet jack until I Needed one to move machines. Glad I have one for sure.
 
I bought one from hf on sale paid $200 out the door, have been using it in my big trailer for work and bring it home when I need it.
5500 lbs capacity is nice
