I built a 12 ton upside down jack press. And they won't work w/o a oil tank on top to keep the bottle full, and I just realized what the pipe in the bottle is for. I don't have the cross beam, old shocks and retract springs and don't need them. And my jack slides from side to side.
While your setup works. There really is no reason to mount the hydraulic jack upside down. The same amount of pressure is the same either way and mounting the jack right side up enables you to use another jack replacement easily if you ever have a failure... Just a thought! Thumbs Up!
I have found it more useful to be able to slide the jack side to side , enabling off set applications. I realise that eliminates the guides , however I have not had any problems. Nice looking job 👍.

Very nicely done! Tip of the hat to you from east Texas.

Rethink, your way would make things way more difficult. If you look you'll see why
Left handed nightmere

This video is backwards.
Either this film is reversed or everything on this jack has left handed threads
Good job, but click bait,in a way. Thought it was about making a old jack function again. Still a fun video for those having the tools and expertise.
I didnt see you putting that retaining ring back on.
Very Good!
All that for a crappy woodsplitter? Maybe a wedge mounted on the jack would give better results. Or a hatchet.
