Can the Side Wind Handle on a Side Mount Tongue Jack Be Switched to Mount Inside Frame
Question:
I want to purchase and mount the HD50000101 Jack on the inside of my A-Frame trailer tongue. Can the handle be reversed? If it is not made to be reversed, can a new hold be drilled in the jack handle and put in backwards?

Expert Reply:
I do have an option for you but you can't just switch the side of the handle on a trailer tongue jack, that's not something they allow for no matter which you go with. If you want to mount the jack inside the frame and crank from the outside you'll have to use a weld-on option like the Square Direct Weld Jack part # TJD-5000S. Please note, you'd have to weld the jack up high enough for the handle to clear the frame while in use.
