Rear leveler jacks on Ford F53 Chassis

Hydraulic up and down. The pump unit has an override switch that will open all the solenoids at once and do a slow dump of pressure but without a working pump I would need to manually push the jacks back into a full retract. The jacks move pretty easy when the system is open so manually pushing a full retract isn't that hard.


Pump and reservoir bolted to a bracket welded to the frame. The small toggle switch on the left is the all retract. I mounted it in the area that Four Winds installed the pump on the model if the buyer orders the option. The whole install I did in my drive way and other than the welding it took me a Saturday to do.

The dull gray top is just a plastic splash cover that I can pull and have direct access to the solenoids, pump and power solenoids. Real simple system. Bottom half is the reservoir.

Worse case scenario if the system is dead I can loosen the hydraulic lines and manually push the jacks up. It's a dicey option since I would be under the coach when it drops plus it can get real messy with the oil going everywhere but back into the reservoir tank.
