My uncle's press has a standard hydraulic ram and a separate pump. I
think the pump had a fitting for a pressure gauge, or maybe it was
inline somewhere in the hose. Rather than drill a hole in a perfectly
functional bottle jack, you might see what Northern would charge you for
a separate pump & ram, then it's easy to attach the gauge.
Do the math once, then use a magic marker to label the gauge in tons.

The place to drill may not be obvious, even after partial disassembly of
the
jack.
