Barker tongue jack

My 2015 Classic came with a Barker jack. It recently died and went to jack heaven. I replaced it with a "ultra fab". I have an extra fiber gear that I kept as a back up. It's brand new. Unfortunately, I dumped the jack, so I don't have any records of the jack model no. The gear measures about 2-1/4 inches in diameter and is just shy of 3/8 inch thick. I'm sure somebody out there would like a back up gear that has one of these jacks. Free to a good home. Just pay the postage. First PM I get, gets the gear.

I also have a Barker. Had it on my 71. Probably 10 years old. It still works but regularly blows fuses. I replaced it with an Ultra Fab. On my first trip out I noticed the weld attaching the tube to the mounting plate was cracked. It was a pretty cheesy weld and I had it rewelded. Overall the UF metal on the mounting plate and foot is a lot thinner.

Well, it wouldn't have been my first choice, but I was stuck. The Barker quit on a Saturday and only thing open was Camper's World. That was the only thing that they had on the shelf. Hey, if it last's a couple of years...so be it; I'll replace it with something better.
