Hey guys,
I have a 2006 Ranger Trail trailer that has a center swing jack that has become very hard to raise and lower. I have added grease through the zerk fitting but it does not help. I sent Ranger an email and this is their reply:
The grease at the top does not grease the lead screw that lifts the trailer.
No jack manufacturer supplies a way to oil this screw.
You can drill a hole in the tube that will let you add oil to the lead screw. This should make it easier to turn.
Other than that the only fix would be replacement of the jack.
Have any of you had this problem and if so how did you resolve the problem. I need more information than the Ranger reply offers.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Charlie
