You will need to replace your entire coupler assembly as the Atwood coupler that you have is obsolete and they are not producing any parts for it. I recommend replacing it with the Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler # DM14791-97. This coupler uses the same 2" size hitch ball of your Atwood coupler and the eZ-Latch coupler will make connecting to your trailer much easier as you no longer need to raise the latch.
You will be able to mount any A-Frame style jack that has a 2-1/4" diameter outer tube. The Ram Round A-Frame Trailer Jack # TJA-5000T-Z is similar to the type of jack you have on there currently. This jack is zinc coated so it will not rust like your current jack. It has a lift capacity of 3,000lbs and a retracted height of 10" from the mounting plate to the bottom of the jack. The jack will extend 14-7/8" to a total length of 24-7/8" from the mounting plate to the bottom of the jack.
I recommend using the Trailer Valet JXC Trailer Jack # TV54FR. This jack offers a powered drill adapter that will allow you to easily raise and lower your jack with a cordless drill. It also includes a detachable handle if your drill dies or you forget it. This jack has a 2,000lb capacity for your trailer.
