Well I got tired of cranking the trailer tongue up when un-hooking trailer from truck. Honestly was wearing my shoulder out, and I'm not getting any younger!
I bought an electric jack from Northern tools, 3500 lbs capacity. http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/ ... _200381584

(Trailer tongue is around 900 lbs) it is made for an A frame trailer but I needed to mount it to the tongue. I had an adapter made at the local weld shop and bolted it on the tongue opposite of the hand crank jack. I'm leaving the hand crank jack on for backup. The new jack plugs right into my trailer light plug. So far, the setup works great.
Hopefully the jack will last for a few years.
Jack was about $150 and bracket about $70.

Cheater!!! :)

Make it a habit to spray it down with something Boeshield T9 to help keep corrosion away.

Can't help with the pics - same thing sometimes happens to me.
