You have two choices if your  tongue jack quits working.  You can replace it or if the problems is the gears inside the top part, then there is a source for replacements.  The part kit that you need for one on a Serro Scotty  is from the
 Trailer Parts Superstore in Newark DE.  Bulldog Trailer Jack Sidewind Gear Kit # 500106. It was $8.69 and nearly the same for shipping ($6.97).


Now, if you feel the need or it is necessary to replace the entire jack, then you have a couple of choices.  First, you could  get a bolt on replacement jack that bolts onto the side rail of your hitch.  The one pictured swings  up to give you more clearance when out on the road.  This model has option to get the solid feet or a wheel for the  bottom of the jack.  I found these at J.C. Whitney Co.  But, they are available at most RV stores and places like Wal Mart, etc. The price on  this model ranged from ~ $40 -50 depending on the capacity, either 1000 or 2000 pounds.

This type of bolt on jack is available in a stationary model too.  These are available too, but will require a little work.  First you will need to remove the old jack.  You can do this by cutting the top part off close to the weld and then grind off the weld and then you should be able to get the bottom part out.  Sidewinder  Jacks with Triangular Mounting plate are available with top or side crank handles. Zinc-plated jacks fit 4" and 5" frames with 14" travel. Gives you extra room to crank your jack. The mounting flange is at the bottom of outer tube and bolts on with 3 bolts.  I assume you could also weld this on or get a model that could be welded on.  This type was also priced at $40 - 50 at an RV parts store.
