[VAC] Re: Broken trailer jack - help

[Dan Weeks <theprofileco@xxxxxxx>]

I replaced just the guts of the jack on my SOB, a '66 Serro Scotty, with
parts of a jack I bought at a local farm store. Take your jack guts out
using methods previously described. Take them with you and compare them to
aftermarket trailer jacks at auto and farm stores, and buy something close
enough to modify. Cost, as I remember, was about $20. The one I bought
required cutting the threaded post (with a hack saw) and drilling out a new
hole in the top to accept my handle, but the whole repair took only an hour
or so, and I didn't have to mess up the tongue. Since my jack tower was
welded on when the trailer was made and is now covered by 6 or 9 coats of
paint, that was a big benefit. Plus it looks totally original. And MAN, is
it easier to jack now!
