RE: Landing leg bent

Just get a new one you will probability have to buy a set. Just make sure you get the Gear ratio right. There several ratios this is determined by bevel gears on the top of the jack . This determines the lifting capacity.

RE: Bucket list

Ok so we checked the wild life off a long time a go . Now we are down to the good stuff. Went to to Saskatchewan Canada last summer and drove a John Deer combine ( 9770 STS ) with a 40 foot head in the Wheat harvest. This year we were in South West Kansas and worked in a huge wheat elevator . So we are still
on the list for next year .

RE: grease bearings

Well its like this . Do you repack you wheel bearings on your car ? NO
If you keep pumping grease into your hubs you will push out your seals this will let grease get on your brake shoes . Then what happens NO BRAKES !! I have put about 30,000 miles on my 5th wheel and never pulled a wheel.But do cheek then twice a year for bad seals and hub caps for leaks . That is the way i do it. If you can do it your self and need to go for it. If you take it to a shop and you feel better more power to you . But in the long run it is easy cash for shops . I was a trailer shop operations Mag. where we fab. trailers from boat trailers to semi trailers for over 20 years . We liked wheel bearing repacks . Safe travels where ever you go .
