Only thing I can think of is a Harbor frieght... they have them... But as for Lowes... I used to work there and at the time, they had nothing of the sort... They are move of a home improvement place than an automotive store.

all you need is the hydrolics right? mc master-carr or grainger would be 2 good places to look, but i bet it's about as cheap to buy the whole thing.

Check your local Yellow Pages for repair services, usually those just need seals and a check ball to restore them to new operation... very very common issue with bottle jacks

Sorry, I missed the "jacks" part in the subject line.

Harbor Freight has them as well. Much less than $150.

Go to Harbor Freight - they got at least a dozen stores down there in Texas. They sell the hydraulic rams there - I found one on their site for $39.99.
