I try to take care of things the best I can and on my to do list every spring is to service my horse trailer and stock trailer jacks but I never seem to get it done. Is it necessary? Does anyone else do this? I know of no one that does but just seems like something that might be a good idea.Mike

Location: MS		I just lubed my jack. You have to take the top off and jam grease down in the gears. I did research online for my brand of jack how to do it.

Location: Western WA		Would it be better to lube the jack when the foot is fully extended (off the truck) or when its fully retracted (hitched up)?

When it's on the truck, it's easier to run the foot up and down without a load on the foot...:)

Well, my jack is pretty non-fancy-- it isn't spring-loaded, I have to manually lift the jack foot when I pull the pin-- and liberally applying grease to the shaft itself was what made the difference between it being a one-person job vs. a two-person job. And as I enjoy trail-riding solo and being able to hitch up and go without any help is of primary importance, that proved to be an important maintenance task for me.
