Inspired by "mgp steve"
I have the same Pep Boys lift as in the above post by "mgp steve". After twenty years of regular use, the foot pump cylinder started weeping. So, inspired by mgp steve's post, I converted my hydraulic lift to pneumatic/hydraulic. Thanks Steve for the inspiration.
I really do like this lift. It lifts my RT quite readily. It is stable and the lifting action is smooth and positive. My brother has a pneumatic Handy lift. When either raising or lowering, the table bounces up and down. He's used to it. It sort of freaks me out.
Here are the details of the conversion.
