Default tongue jack

I repaired my awning and battery box last month.

Went to raise the hi-lo to leave camp spot this am and the tongue jack gearing is broken. Had to use an old trusty hydraulic to complete the trip.

There are several dimensions I cold use some help on to order a new sidewinder tongue jack.

The existing dimensions I have are 14" plate to top of jack, 8-9" down from plate to add on foot.

2" diameter foot.

Anyone know the raise distance?

I don't need an electric.

any help is appreciated.

Mammoth blues and brews was a great time!

Since no one replied to my post, I assume your jacks haven't broken YET!.

Our trlr's use a "sidewinder A frame" style jack.
I purchased a CURT MANUFACTURING #28204. The dimensions are very close to my original.
$30 from Amazon with 2 day delivery. Can't beat that.

Repair took 30 minutes to complete, off/on.
Wish all of the repairs were that easy.

The bolt on plates of new jacks are universal in hole placement and size.
The vertical ht. and lower stem are not. Nor lift ht.

My neighbor came by after my repair and asked when I was leaving again now that it was fixed.
UNKNOWN, was the answer!

If I hadn't had a bottle hydra. jack when this happened I would have spent many hours trying to mount trlr to TV.

I routinely also use the bottle jack to adjust side to side ht for refrigerator leveling. I place it between the leaf springs mount, I have dbl axle.
