Take it apart, it is more likely completely straight forward.  I bet it's 
just like (or very close to) what you stated.

These are serviceable and super simple.

The question I wanted to know, is if anyone ever figured out how to have 
the jack wheel swivel when there is a load on it.  None of mine ever do.

I've got a typical screw down trailer jack that I want to use for a 
smaller, shorter project
 
 
I need something to hold up a leaf vacuum when disconnected from the mower 
and this
jack is too long and ungainly for this little project
 

 
I haven't taken it apart yet so looking for some insight.  It shouldn't be 
complicated (shorten outer shaft and inner screw, right)
but don't want to render it useless
 
thanks
