Hi
I have an Rieco Titan type Jack that kind of skips a beat when you crank it. The beveled gear appears to come disengaged and just spins. Later it hooks up again. Can this jack be repaired? I really like these Jacks. They are heavy duty, have landing gear and are mounted on a L bracket that rides under the camper. Been around for years. I'm comparing them to my hydraulic Hi-Jackers that were sleek and modern but kind of light duty now that I've had these crank jobbies. Wish I had a pic but camera is AWOL. Cheers |

Wanted something less than half of the rated weight load for a 1/2 ton truck.Like to be realistic about weight capacities. Built a totally aluminum unit. 8 ft. box, 80 in. wide, 80 in. high. With door, windows and AC and jacks I can still left one end by hand and I'm over 60. I'm guessing at this point unit must be around 200 lbs. |

Cheers  Yes! Just Google Rieco. At the very bottom of their home page is a "parts list". Click on it. It's just a matter of knocking out a spring pin to remove the gear. Hope this Helps , Tom |
