Rebuilt built my first

[Muir hill 101]

Handyman Jack been using these for 30 years now and finally decided I would try putting new pins and spring in one found the kit locally . New Jack was 100$ rebuild kit was 22$ had to buy a bushing for the leaver and a package of them was 3$ . A good wash down with some penetrating oil works like new .

Always wanted on of those to use for different things like to hold something till I could get a better jack or block under it. Not really lifting just to hold. I also have seen how unstable they are. they would be good for somethings.

At one time I had a 3 leg jack. I haven't seen it in a long time, it must have been sold at the auction I had when I quit farming.

My son purchased one and he asked me why I never had one on the farm. A few weeks later he found out, after a few stiches he was all good. I had my fill of handyman jacks and come-a-longs working for Harveststore. Installed a lot of unloaders with a pair of handyman jacks and two Pull-More come-a-longs.

I have three of those that I have acquired over the years, and I don't know why. I really don't use them because I don't trust them.

I used to have one and someone borrowed it. It came back bent all to H. Tried to straighten it but it never worked right since.

I put a rebuild kit in one years ago, made a lot of difference. Also if you can keep them clean and oiled. I carry one on my jeep but also have wheel blocks to use with it. It is about the most dangerous thing around but also very handy at times. Just have to be careful with it. I loaned one to a lady once and she used it to lift front of 5th wheel horse trailer. It bent sideways, I didn't think you could do that. I got a new jack out of it anyway.

If a person acknowledges that a handyman/highlift jack is one of the most dangerous tools he owns, then they will use it accordingly. At least I hope so. I do. gobble

Thats the Thing to always remember

Lifting trailers is really hard to do with these jacks but it can be done I try not to ever have to do that but I have

I didn't know there was a kit for them. Thanks for the heads up. I bought one for Dad for Christmas about 55 years ago. It's wore flat out. I bought another one a few years back. I should fix the old one too I guess.

I seen the kits years ago back when farm stores carried farm parts . This new store we got really keeps a lot of farm stuff hopefully they get more kits soon need to redo two more jacks

They are extremely handy just need to be careful with them I use them to do everything

Yeah I didnt know that when I first got one. Had my Ford tractor jacked up .the first time, bent down near it and felt the handle graze the side of my head when it let go. Im convinced it would have killed me if my head was a little bit further over. Been extremely careful using it ever since!!!
