I've got a typical screw down trailer jack that I want to use for a smaller=
, shorter project
=20
=20
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
=20

=20
I haven't=20
taken it apart yet so looking for some insight.  It=20
shouldn't be complicated (shorten outer shaft and inner screw, right)
but don't=20
want to render it useless

thanks

Where is it too long? At the top or the bottom?

The jack on my car trailer would scrape when exiting some driveways. I put
some blocks between the jack & the tongue (with longer bolts) to raise the
entire jack up 2".

Can you mount it higher and take up the space with spacers and long =
bolts?

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 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

Why not just get a swivel tongue jack? Northern Tool has this
(*https://tinyurl.com/2p22mgqd
<https://tinyurl.com/2p22mgqd>*) for $40. I replaced the tongue jack like
yours on our utility trailer with one from Horrible Freight or  Northern
some years ago. Works great. They're also available from eTrailer, Wally
World, etc, for more money it looks like. Very easy bolt on installation or
you could weld it if you want.

I bought a swivel caster for mine that actually works pretty good.  Got it
off Amazon, The specifc one I ordered is not available anymore but it was a
cheap chinese brand.  I took a chance on it because it was super cheap on
sale.  If I needed another one I'd probably check reviews on eTrailer.  The
reviews seem a lot more honest over there.

I don=E2=80=99t know if this is relevant to the current discussion, but =
a friend has the Cyclone Rake and also has issues with having something =
to get it to stand up on its own when not in use. He is using the jack =
from Cyclone Rake, but it must be totally removed when not in use [as =
opposed to just folded up and out of the way=E2=80=A6].  I guess if we =
come up with a solution he will be grateful too!!  His description of =

Hi Al,=20

=20

similar to mine...

The Cyclone rake has a mounting bracket that has to be installed.=20

The LA115 (mine) John Deere has a transmission neutral lever that is in =
the way (in this case).

=20

The lever is pulled so someone can move the tractor around without =
starting it.

=20

If I put the plate above the lever, I can't reach it under the plate to =
safely pull on it or push it in.=20

So I mounted the bracket below the lever.

=20

With the jack completely recessed up, I have to lift the trailer up a =
couple of inches to mount the jack or unmount it.

The jack is not designed to be left on the trailer while connected to =
the tractor.=20

The trailer is front heavy because the engine is on the front of the =
trailer.

=20

=20

=20

=20

I expect at some point I'll get a bigger tractor and the mounting points =
will be different.

Meanwhile, I'll have to figure something out or just keep lifting (not =
easy or light).

The front wheel is fine if on a smooth surface.=20

=20

=20

On Tue, Jul 18, 2023, 12:40 PM <[email-masked] =

I=E2=80=99m not visualizing what you are describing, but if the wheel is =
too small =E2=80=93 maybe get a cheap caster at Northern Tools or Harbor =
Freight?

 Ok, not useless.

Sorry..

It doesn't work well for me because I "had to" mount the trailer =
mounting plate low on my tractor.

Unfortunately it's too low for the Jack (already at its lowest =
adjustment) to attach easily.

 IMHO the wheel on the Jack is too small.

 I need to figure out how to make them work together.

Ok
