Default Replacing bottle jack on MC lift

A friend of mine gave me a Craftsman motorcycle jack today after I had used his last week to do some front end work on my bike. I use a table lift for most of my work but the little jack I borrowed worked just fine for what I was doing. Anyways, it's basically just a frame without a bottle jack. Trying to find a replacement jack for it but nothing seems to have two pedals. I can just mount up a regular bottle jack but the pedals are nice to have so your hands are free to hold the bike. Apparently the company that makes these for Sears doesn't offer the jack by itself.

I got my jack at auto zone for $70. Probably not worth the trouble...

Some bottle jacks do not work when you lay them down either. MC jacks can be found pretty cheap.

I have the red craftsman and my bottle crapped out. I couldnt find a jack that had 2 pedals like the one it came with. I bought an Omega 6 ton bottle jack to install for about $40. Its what J&S sells on their website. It requires some mods to to make it work though.

You buy the red jack from Sears you own it. Parts are near impossible to find . Lost the jack on mine also. Bought a yellow one, seems to be working fine.

I found an updated number on thier website, total shipped cost was like $31 which isn't bad at all. I will need to obtain the mounting hardware but I figure I can get that stuff at the local hardware store.

I received the jack on Friday and much to my surprise it came complete with the mounting hardware and return spring. Unfortunately it didn't include the pedal for the lift valve (it has the drop valve pedal) so I'll have to make one I guess. I seem to recall when I was originally searching for the replacement jack that I had found the pedal but now I can't seem to find it again. If anyone has a link to share I'd appreciate it.
