I have two old Heim Werner 1 1/4 ton floor jacks (twins) that I like and use for light work in the shop. I blew the pump seal in one the other day. I called around and went on line without much luck. Most of the companies want to sell you new import junk. Is it time to say good bye to one of the family ?

gtow69,

Don't throw out the baby with the jack oil! Hein-Werner might have made the hard pieces of the jack, but they sure as heck didn't make the seals, wipers and rings.

These old jacks are probably "inch" sizes and all the soft parts are available. There is a company called 'Seal Source' that has all these items listed by size.

If you are willing to do some legwork, these soft parts can be found. If there is a Applied Industrial, Dixie Bearing or King Bearing in your neck-o-the-woods, give them the cups, seals etc and let them earn their pay! Good luck.

Thanks for your info Stuart !! I will check. It looks like the pump itself just threads (NPT) into the jack body and would be serviced as a unit. Online,Heim Werner starts with the larger 2 ton.

I have a Hein Warner jack that is OLD but works great, I have replaced O rings once in 50 years, Probably the highest quality jack money can buy.

Theyre great jacks and can easily be rebuilt. I used to know a guy that rebuilt jacks for a side business. If I remember, there a supply house in Chicago that carries that kind of stuff.
