Question
Mounting size
Will this mount on a trailer tongue that is 2"x3"? Also, there is another Jack for same price that has 750lb load - what are the main differences? I am using this for smallish trailer for 14' sailboat, about 600lbs is the entire boat. But will be wheeling this around on grass.

With the bolt hole positions and the clamping method, I am pretty sure you could mount it to a smaller tongue like that. If you are handy, this is very versatile and should be easy to work something out with. The only downside to the higher weight capacity is a mildly heavier jack. I would easily go with this as it is not going to be a big issue and for me, in this situation, more IS better. The wheel is hard zytel type plastic, and may sink in the grass under heavy weight. It is possible that you could fit a pneumatic tire in the wheel space. That would be ideal for grass. I wish I could measure it for you, but isn't available now. The wheel itself is about 2" wide, but the whole space is probably ~3" total width between the metal, and I am not sure of the height. Hope this helps

Yes, this jack will work on a tongue that is 2x3 inch. The differences between this jack and the 750 lb model are: The weight that they are capable of holding, the length of travel and the overall extended and collapsed length of the jack. The capacity of the jack that you need will be determined by the tongue weight and not the overall weight of the trailer. If you are moving this trailer on grass I would consider going to a dual wheel jack as the single wheel models can dig into the sod when you move them.

I have mounted it on a 2"x3" trailer tongue (a 2000# 4x6 pivot trailer from Northern Tools). The wheel on this unit may be larger than the lighter weight item and would therefore be more suited for use on turf terrain.

There is no c-clip between the bracket and the jack. You probably can bolt the jack to the bracket that is welded to the trailer

No, this jack does not have a "c-clip" that holds the jack to the mounting plate. It is held in place by a permanently riveted retainer plate.

The distance from the inside of the tube to the outside of the mounting plate is approximately 3 inches. If that is not a great enough distance for your application a shim or washer could be added to reach the proper distance.

Question
length below the mounting plate?
When my trailer (a hot dog cart) is on the ground I only have ten inches of clearance. I'm looking for a jack that when retracted and on the ground will be only ten inches from the mounting plate to the ground. I need my trailer to be level when unhitched.
