<div dir="ltr">Why not just get a swivel tongue jack? Northern Tool has this (<b style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12.8px"><a href="https://tinyurl.com/2p22mgqd">https://tinyurl.com/2p22mgqd</a></b>) 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.<div><br></div><div>RD</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Jul 17, 2023 at 10:07 AM john <<a href="mailto:jniolon@att.net">jniolon@att.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
