I need some help finding a unique jack. I have an ’88 escort trailer and the tongue is a little wierd. The two rails come together on either side of the tongue rail and so it’s three-wide from about two feet behind the coupler back. I don’t know if that made any sense or not.
Anyway, the gist of it is that a swivel-jack will not fold because of the configuration of the side rails. The jack that came with it has a post with a removable wheel that’s held on by a lynchpin. Reel it up, pull the pin, and throw the wheel in the back of the truck to give sufficient ground clearance.
My wife got me a new jack for father’s day, but all she could find at about 1/2 dozen farm & home stores was a swivel jack. I’m probably going to see if there’s any way I can make it work, but in case I can’t does anyone know where I might be able to find a duplicate of the original?
Much appreciated.
