Acme Tow Dolly

[Kiltedpig]

Anyone gotten a swing down dolly jack to save your back when moving the dolly?  What did you get and how did you attach it to the dolly?

I  used a standard boat trailer dolly but I changed the wheel to a much larger one to make it easier to roll on gravel.

How did you attach it to the frame?  Do you have any pictures?  I am using a furniture dolly that I roll under the front of the frame but the wheels are small.

It bolts to the frame just like a boat trailer frame.  It pivots and swings horizontal for travel.

Here is the jewel that I use, takes up a little room, but easily carried on the ladder, or can be carried on the tow dolly with a little modification.

That unit has a 1-7/8" ball. I could probably change it to 2", eh?

Yes.....you can change out the ball to 2".  We have the same dolly.
