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.
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-Jac.../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.
