Trailer Jack?

[jet]

Hey guys. I need to order a new trailer jack. Will I be able to find one that will fit my mount?? I dont want one of those bolt-ons.9837

Jet -- I got one for xmas that I don't need. I'll make you a great deal on it because I replaced mine with a non-wheel version last year. I'll get some info on it tonight but it should fit on that same snap-ring mount.

[wotan2525]

Also -- You've got the only other OKT trailer I've ever seen!!

I think I'm going to rebuild mine. Powdercoat it black, and redo the handle on it. Then add a big rubber caster wheel.

I can't find one like those either. I sure as hell hate trying to put them back on. Good grief.

Northern Tool, and yes a great big PITA to install.

Yes, the trailer was built nice!! BUT, its heavier than you know what so the normal trailer jacks are to light duty. Mine is rated at 1600??

Anybody tried the powder coating sprayers at habor frt?? I have been thinking about that.

Actually -- With the right set of snap-ring pliers these aren't that bad to get on. I did 2 of them without the pliers (which was HORRIBLE) but then invested in a pair with a bunch of different tips and can now switch out one of these jacks in 10 minutes.

These snap-ring jacks seem to all be sort of crappy. I kept breaking the wheels so I replaced mine with one of these http://www.amazon.com/Swing-Away-Jack-2000-15/dp/B003VAXBA2 -- It's much more solid (and my tongue is too heavy to push around on wheels, anyway.)

I'd buy a Fulton F2 in a second if they made a snap-ring mount/adapter for it.

I actually have snap ring pliers, but the joker was so rusted, it was a bitch.

I don't mind the clamp style, but prefer clean. Most likely, I would get one, powder coat it, and then weld a mounting plate with threads on it to the trailer, then bolt on the jack.

Jet,

Have you checked out the Fulton F2 jack? Check this thread out -- I have no idea if this guy
is still selling the adapter plates or not:

I have been happy with this upgrade, but I don't know if your setup is the same... This is a boatmate trailer

Mine was also rusted in real bad, so I put an F2 on mine & been happy with it so far (although the little plastic retainer clip for the handle is pretty cheesy). Got it with the weld-on mounting plate. Ground off the old, had the new plate welded on prior to powdercoating the trailer then just bolted on the new jack.

Those are nice..

Jet: I've got and F2 I'll sell you. Had it on my old Comp trailer, but the new boatmate came with one. You dont want a snap ring jack - POS. Mine broke while moving the trailer. Imagine if the trailer lands on your shin or ankle! Two ubolts mount. The cool factor of the F2 more than makes up for being boltd on. Call/text me 540-842-7019 if interested. Brian

Hey 96, where you been man?? I like the F2's but there price is just way over what I want to pay for one. And harbor frt has a 1500 lbs double wheel for like $39, I know its not a F2 but its solid. Im going all the way thru my boat right now so Im blowing alot of money on the more important stuff. How do you get a ubolt top go around a square frame??

How do you get a ubolt top go around a square frame??Like this dude...

My dad told me to set the trailer on a jack stand to keep the weight of the rig off the tounge jack while in storage. My tounge jack has lasted very well, just keep her greased with Amsoil!

[96Comp]

Sort of like the pic, but without the back plates. When to the farm supply and got two "square" ubolts and bolted it right up. Looked slick- almost factory. Ground off the frame mount and repainted the areas. Yep, thery're pricey but you get what you pay for! Maybe over kill for a light boat like the Comp but made it easier to move around when I didnt have the trailer caddy.

[Okie Boarder]

jet, have you come up with a solution. I'm starting to have some issues with mine seeming like it wants to bind up a bit in certain areas. I'm thinking it is going out on me.

[Okie Boarder]

Mine is definitely getting worse, very quickly...really hard to turn and wants to bind at certain points and I'm noticing some slippage. Is there a solution where I can buy the jack and mount it right up using the already existing mount? Mine looks very similar to jet's...we may have the same trailer style, or at least very similar.

If you still have that jack i need one,messed mine all up last year on a crappy ramp.
