I bought one New 25 years ago, whatever I paid was well worth it, as compared to the made in Taiwan 2 1/2 ton floor jack it replaced. The dealer told me that was the last red jack he would ever have for sale after that they were going to be blue and yellow ( Lincoln colors). Your restoration Jack looks really nice, it's amazing how beat up they get in 20 years. The lettering that's embossed, snap-on made in USA 2 1/2 ton would look really nice if you took a artist paint brush and highlighted in white.
I looked up a new one I can’t believe how much they are. You did a great job it looks very close to new, especially since you rebuilt the cylinder.
Thank you!
