Not to hijack your thread Jacek, but I was just about to post

failed (stripped thread, then the bearing failed under the resulting

anyone have an up-to-date source for small scissor jacks that would
fit? *Most retail-store jacks are too big, and I'm willing to bet that

cost me a bundle.

I just replaced the failed scissor jacks on my Komet trailer with a
motorcycle scissor lift I found at T-Motorsports. The lift has a wide
stable platform and just fit between the fuse dolly rails. I attached
the lift to the rails with a heavy piano hinge I got from McMaster
Carr. The jack capacity is 1,000 lbs and it is a bit heavier than the
original jack set up but it works great. Try this link to see the
lift:

Good luck,

A couple of notes on the motorcycle lift:

The base plate has two brackets on it that I cut off.

The jack gets very low but it's just low enough for my LS-3a.
