Ok, so im fine tuning the brakes on my M101 trailer. For some reason, I can tilt the bed by hand when the spare tire isnt on the carrier Chris Case made for me. But as soo as the tire is on it, it wont tilt. It just over powers the brakes and rolls.
So i jack it up, put a jack stand under it, cuz my jack has been seeping a litte here and there. I get the brake on one side adjusted, go to jack it back up to move the jack stand to do the other side. I hear a little snap, like someone craking their chewing gum, the trailer stops moving, the handle feely moves to the ground, and a puddle of fluid slowly appears from under the jack, and grows. Cant get the jack stand out, so i get my crank jack from my Dakota, crib it, since its a high axle. Pain in the ^&*
So, who can reccomend a GOOD heavy duty floor jack? This one was a Craftsman 3 ton. I looked on the Craftsman website and the 4 ton ones all have crap ratings for the same exact problem as mine.
Obviously I'd need a heavy duty one for liftin the PW, but i cant beleive it blew its seal on this trailer, its not 3 tons!!
