dover Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Can anyone tell me what brand this jack might be? It's on a early 70's Hobbs flatbed. The two speed gear box needs rebuilt and I can't seem to find one that looks like this.

dover Posted November 1, 2016 Author Share Posted November 1, 2016 Does anyone have any ideas on the manufacturer of the jack? I need to find a rebuild kit for the gear reduction box.

Freightrain Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Is that even something that they would offer parts for(today)? Or do they consider it expendable and just replace the whole leg? What part needs replaced? Shafts, gears, bushings? Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Phase 1 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 (edited) You could have someone turn out some new bushings for it.
