Spring Compressor

[dezwez]

The hydraulic ram pack up on my spring compressor so this is what i did to fix it i

bolted a scissor jack to the bottom of it and welded the bar that fit in to the hydraulic ram to the top of the scissor jack and it works well. machine mart want £55.00 for a new ram .They only cost £99.00 new on a vat free day plus it only worked twice since i bought it. its a bit of winding up and down but its saved it.Hope this helps someone with same problem.

forgot to say scissor jack came out of a transit van so should be strong enough
