Default Komet Trailer ramp Lever Jack

Steve,

I replaced the scissor jack on my HP-14 trailer ramp with one of these motorcycle jacks shortly after you mentioned it in an earlier post. I had a chance to test it on a trip to Logan. It works great!!!

It is a STRONG, a bit heavy and the best solution I have discovered to date. I'm replacing the rod/socket provided raise and lower the jack with a socket and a swivel ratchet drive.

I replaced the broken double scissor jack on my 1979 Komet with a
motorcycle jack available from:

I cut off the tabs on the base plate and mounted the jack to the
fuselage dolly rails with a heavy duty piano hinge I got from McMaster
Carr. It works great and it's not expensive. I can send pics to anyone
interested.
