The manual says grease it every year and the reason I'm looking into it is it started to sound bad near the top of its range of motion. Because of the slope of my driveway and in order to get my TT level when stored I have to run the jack pretty much through its entire range. It sits completely retracted with the tongue just a few inches off the ground when stored. To hitch it up I have to raise it with an inch or so of fully extended. Basically, I use it more than the average person.
And Newman Fulltimer - you are correct, there is a big cotter pin and I thought of pulling it but just couldn't believe they wouldn't mention it in the instructions. In any case, it does sound better after greasing the gears up top. At some point I'll have to figure out how to get in and grease the jack screw.
Thanks guys....
