Does anyone out there know how the jacks work on a mobile home?
I live in a 1876 mobile home, and I need t do a visual check on the jacks under the house, due to it's age, and my concerns that they may have moved or not?. I would like to know beforehand ,(in case I do see a problem and do have to fix one), how they work? Are they just like the ones used for cars? You just pull up the handle until the desired height and then stop at that notch? If not, how? Also, do they have some kind of bracket to fit an under house cross section of wood? That would make it more secure. I hope you can help. I have a shorter jack right now, that goes under my deck , and am working my way to (while fighting off the spider population there), & that jack seems to have lowered itself, and is 4-5 inches
Too short. It doesn't come close to even touching the wood it's supposed to be supporting.
