I have an older Komet with the same problem.

I'd be interested in pix as well as info on where exactly to buy a "lovejoy bearing".
Boy, sometimes the advertising writes itself, doesn't it?

Some years ago, I had exactly the same problem on a 1978 Komet. I
bought two extra strong jacks and had a local welding shop mount them
for me. Worked great!

I am looking at a worn out mechanical jack for the ramp on a Komet

scissor jacks and have them welded into the existing frame. Has
anyone else tackled this job and had better luck with another type of
repair?

Thanks in advance,

I recently had trouble with mine. I got two auto scissor jacks from AutoMax
and a friend connected them with a Lovejoy bearing. Huge range of motion and
great stability compared with the previous ramp jack. I've got photos, if
you need them.
