<DIV><FONT face="Segoe UI">well...I'm old and lifting this rig is getting harder each year and I'm trying to use something I already have and I love projects... with the swivel tongue I'll probably have a little fabbing to make it fit the 1.5" frame rails. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Segoe UI">I tried the a ler stabilizer type leg but I'm still lifting the entire weight of the engine and some of the frame to set the leg...(again...I'm old)</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Segoe UI">JIM, afa where it's too high it's probably too long on the bottom... I haven't actually done any measurements or fit-up yet. I was just wondering if the adaption would be that difficult. I'll have to fab up a mount</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Segoe UI">for it anyway (it's a bulldog mount now) so my mounting options are totally open.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>Why not just get a swivel tongue jack? Northern Tool has this (<B style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0)"><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.
