Location: Delavan, WI | Well the other day my trailer jack handle came off, there is a roll pin that holds it in place and it just sheared on the inside boat is a 99 I've owned it since 07 so I'm pretty sure its original i think I should just replace it rather than try to fix it i am a mechanic but just think it maybe best opton. I have not even opened it up but am sure gears, etc would be worn out. Anyhow it has a plate welded to trailer that jack bolts to I put down bolt pattern on piece of paper so I can match it up went to bass pro and none of theirs matched up, went to farm and fleet since I saw on their website they carry fulton which is the manufacturer and none of those lined up either , now I think my only option is to try and fix mine, contact ranger or fulton and see if they may carry an exact fit that will just bolt on directly. I really don't want to grind off existing plate and weld on new one , Anyone have the same issue, or any advice would be much appreciated
Thanks |

| Pretty sure that happened on a 681 I used to have. I ended up taking off the broken original jack and bolting on a replacement next to the welded on plate. It didn't look super-great, but it worked just fine.

| I have a 690 and I couldn't find an exact match either so I also bolted a new one on next to the plate. If you find a match please post it. |

Location: Delavan, WI | I'm kinda particular about appearance so that is out of the question for me so far I have found a rebuild kit with new gears and rollpins for under $20 so that is an option , I will be calling ranger tomorrow to see if they have a direct bolt on available |

Location: Delavan, WI | I just went ahead and ordered it from ranger they assured me it was identical to the one I took off so direct bolt on $97 + shipping will find out in a couple days if its a direct replacement |

Location: Delavan, WI | Thanks, but already got the new one from Ranger my old one was rated at 1200lbs new one 1250 and its nice and shiny, has a nicer handle , a zerk fitting for grease and tag says it has a 3 or warranty so Im happy, took all of 5 minutes to install, direct bolt on, no drilling or grinding, I think I made the right choice. |
