Why do you say grease it right away?
Old floor jack no longer holds. Time for a new one.

I'll join in on this. I bought the Daytona 4 Ton Heavy duty to replace my "Michelin" (made by ???) one. The Michelin was a 2 speed which made it a lot quicker getting it in place then on high speed, then switching to low automatically. The Daytona goes just as high and lower than the Michelin.
Buuut, the Michelin has the standard 1-1/4" (I think) hole on the plate so you can use different attachments like this transmission adapter.
Now, I'm gonna have to modify the adapter or the jack to make it work. Or - find something to rebuild the Michelin.
As far as tight quarters go, they both have a 2 - piece handle. It just takes a little more effort.

I needed a jack last year because using my old one left you feeling like you just got done doing a Cross Fit workout just to jack the Suburban up. I ended up going with the Daytona Super Duty and it's definitely a lot easier to use and seems to be made well.
i just use the whale blubber ATF in mine...
Maybe they have substandard fluids in them.

that is a lose lose for snap on
I also just discovered that the Daytona Super Duty carries a three year warranty. I’m sold.
If you dont want to take it on you can bring it to a hydraulics shop and ask them.
I had my late 50s early 60s air over hydraulic 4 ton rebuilt for 120 bucks
Try McMaster-Carr,they have a good selection of hydraulic seals. You will probably need to take it apart to mic the bore and see what kind of seals they are. Make sure you replace the pump seal too.

Does this include the grease or was it a matter of them not coming greased? I greased mine right away (beside the fitting on the center arm thing breaking off...) when I got it. I need a new fitting for that part. I was thinking of getting a drive-in-recessed fitting for that part.
