Replacement Bulldog A-Frame Jack and Wheel Caster Recommendation
Question:
I have a 1996 26 foot Prowler tow able trailer and the roll pin for the a frame jack is missing. It looks like a bulldog jack but the brand name has been painted over. Is it easier for me to replace the whole jack with BTJA-5000S-B as I cant find a roll pin to fit it? If so is this the right jack and can it work with a caster wheel. I need to winch the trailer in to where I am going to store it.

Expert Reply:
The etrailer Side Wind Jack part # TJA-5000S-B that you referenced would work well on your A-frame trailer as a replacement for your current jack. For a wheel caster you would also need the part # PS1400750340. You should note that the wheel is only rated for 1,200 lbs of tongue weight.
Simply replacing the jack will be a much easier job than dealing with the headache of trying to track down the right parts and installing them.
