My Harbor Freight lift pump/jack started leaking over the winter and I replaced all seals except the main cylinder seal and then gave up on it. I always let the table rest on the bar when the lift was up.
I called my local Harbor Freight store and they had no idea where to get parts for it even went in there another time to grab some tools and again asked and again no help.
New pumps were crazy high and I searched many times for parts and no luck. A couple of weeks ago I stumbled across a link to the Harbor Freight Parts Department what the heck .they have all kind of replacement parts. Called them up and an English speaking gal helped me immediately.
Anyway, if anyone has problems with the Harbor Freight pump/jack parts are now easy to find.
hf is usually cheap on their parts but sometimes, you have to wait since a lot comes out of china. however, jack parts are easily found, just repaired an old discontinued craftsman floor jack that went back to the 70's. change the pressure cup also.
Installed the new jack this morning and first time my bike has been off the high position in 3-4 months. The main piston seal must be bad and I didn't feel like tearing into it....I'll put it on the shelf as one of my saved jobs for when I retire (if that ever happens)
so $113.30 for the pump. isn't the jack ~ $130.00. i believe i paid around that.
Needed the pump for my lift table. I have had the table for awhile and got it on sale from HF and pretty sure I paid $199.00 for it....looks like they are about $499.00 now
