- Install and review of a swing-away jack stand for my utility trailer.
This is one of the cheapest and easiest upgrades for your utility
trailer and trust me it's well worth it. I got mine at the local
Tractor Supply store but Harbor Freight has pretty much the same thing.
Here is a link to this jack stand on Amazon:

10" travel
6" Poly Wheel
Comes with all installation hardware - Jak na to + styl
You made it look pretty easy, but mine was around $50 ish.. and how they had the old trailer jack on..makes it where the new one doesn’t go in the same place. I also wish I had man muscles instead of Elderly girl power ..I’m an old lady without any real tools except for imagination determination and being a little pissed off.! Lol .. I appreciate your video. Thank you.!
Just installed one just like it from HF on the same kind of trailer as yours (carry on brand) It's an awesome trailer and now even more so with the addition of this jack.
Every time I use the trailer I am stunned by how much more useful it is with that jack stand.
I'm going to try to install mine tomorrow on my hotdog cart! Wish me luck...signed A WOMAN😂
I replaced one in my boat trailer. I have the one with a grease fitting and I lube the bearing buddies and hitch every spring
Thank you, your video was so helpful I'm curious if you can add the double caster wheels to this jack? This swing arm fixes half my problems--lifting the trailer--but the single wheel still might sink.
Just got one from northern tool for $20! Super cool
awesome vid brother ty
Why did you put the brackets on backwards not per instructions?
Thanks for your comment. I figured out if I used a 3/8" bolt instead of the 10mm that the jack came with...it finally works. Yeppie!
So I'm moving and need to transport swing set and pull my pontoon boat. But I can't seem to pull the thing to lift up the wheel, is the truck too full?
Thank you I knew I was doing something wrong !
Good effort but keep the camera tied down or does it shake so much?
Thanks for the tip with power tools.....be careful :)
Love the cal guns! License plate cover🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🇺🇸
Wow, I forgot all about that. I live in a free state now and just can't imagine how bad it must be for one back there
I'd like to see your spare mount. my tires are 13"
Red Beard where you at ? Miss you and the bear.
Not sure you should have to lift like that at the end.. doesnt seem right
6 years later... n here i am. Harbor Freight just had a sale on these 1k pound version.
85.00 here at Cambodian Tire in Kirklandlake Ont
Wheel jack is Best on market
Looks like you put it on the wrong side also you put brackets on backwards.
where you get the drilled channels you ran u bolts thru
came with the jack
Can you use the Jack stand with a full load of Mulch in the trailer? Will it hold?
I don't know about mulch but I had the trailer loaded up with 3 tool boxes completely full of tools. It was most certainly over the weight capacity of the trailer. And I had zero problems most cranking it up or down
@@denoftools Thanks.
I got this at Walmart, but this is too tall for my trailer. Any suggestions?
The only thing I might suggest is trying to see if someone sells a smaller one there's really not much of a way to adjust it past the the lowest setting.
The pivot on my jack is frozen. Suggestion? I want to keep it and not replace mine.
First I'd try a penetrating oil. If that doesn't work a heat gun and then ice bath. Once you get it moving, strip it, clean it and try it again.
Had to give it a like.... CGer
What tools you use.. Size?
What if the trailer tongue itself is too small for the wheel jack?
Like it's too short when the jack is swiveled up? Or that the bar is too small for the mounting bracket?
Red Beard and The Den of Tools the bar itself is too small for the mountain bracket
Hmm, can you send a pic?
can you post a link to the padlock you have
Sorry, I missed your question. It was part of a combo kit by Reese. www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/reese-towpower-tow-and-store-anti-theft-lock-kit?cm_vc=-10005
mine won't fit the bottom bolt won't go through to the other side and if I go down to next hole the gap is almost an inch.Help!
The real issue is that the bottom bolts are up against the bottom of the trailer arm. The top bolts are there to clamp it down.
where did you put spare and with what mount?
Right now I'm keeping the spare in the trailer itself I have not found a mount that I like then we'll work with the side walls on this trailer
@@denoftools thank you i may put ubolt up front on top rail just drill 2 holes i guess and stand it on tounge should work
