That looks very much like a 3 ton Machine Mart one, so the parts list picture might give you a clue as to the pump body layout...A mate left this with me as spares / repairs..
seems to be a well built unbranded 2.5t jack, problems are a stuck valve in the body and stripped splines where the lock / unlock shaft fits inside the handle.

Any suggestions why the valve has stuck or how to free it?
I was using it and the valve was ok, mate used it and now it’s seized. We tried hammering the toothed cog to free the valve but it’s not moving.

Some bits to entertain me for the next 24 hours. Just had minor surgery to reset a bone in my hand.

Today I did not aquire my new M12 rotary tool. I had ordered yesterday before their advertised 7pm cut off. I now remember, they use DHL. I should have used Amazon instead, it would have been only a couple quid more.
This morning I got a tracking, that said collected. It now has changed to "will be collected, before 18:00".
I assume the fact it is near 18:00 and has not been collected, means I'm unlikely to get it tomorrow either.

We will see if Amazon is as good as they proclaim to be.
Having six new to me doors put in the bungalow by some friends who know each other and have been chippies for donkeys years . Some doors had to be cut to a smaller width .
First time I've taken notice of the use of a Makita track saw and track saw guide .
Door hinges all set the same spacing , Original doors didn't have any set the same from the floor , one bottom hinge was 15 inches from the bottom of the door , several top hinges were close on 17 inches from the door tops .
All doors nicely hung , I nipped out & purchased 38 mtr of 12mm x 19mm door stop trim , as we discovered three doors only had 8 or 10 mm thick stops and due to crap fitting of the original doors they were way out of vertical & looked like bananas . Got back with the stops to be told , " Dave we have a problem "
The latch inserts for the doors was too long for the cut down stiles of the new doors , originals were all sorts of sizes .
So I've just ordered five 30mm latches from Amazon at £6.50 or so each , delivery supposed to be by lunch time tomorrow ..We will see !
