Just another simple project for the forum.
Welded with a portable Miller MultiMatic 200 MIG/TIG/Stick using the MIG & C25 gas
Settings? Haha, I just chose the factory setting for ---> 1/4"
Tailgate hits jack when the trailer is attached.
Pretty much can't open tailgate, unless you have a rag or something to prevent damage.
This trailer was made in 1998.
How could they sell trailers like this?
Were tailgates ever that short?
This jack was only $46.95 with free shipping. Included the weld-on lug and the pin!
(5,000 lb. Side wind Ram tubular swivel jack with weld-on pipe mount. 15" travel by Southwest Wheel)
Beveled the side mount and ground off the paint. Tacked side mount.
Root weld and cover weld.
Welding done.
Painted.
Jack pivoted, stowed. Handle falls down by gravity.
Using the pin-chain lanyard to support the handle.
And finally, just verifying that the jack's bevel gears were greased by the mfr.
I had doubts that at $46.95 and free shipping,,,, they could afford to grease it, but they DID! ...
