   I'm not sure how that is relevant to welding on a complete jack assembly   
   to a complete trailer assembly.  I guess I could have welded on flanges   
   and then bolted the flanges together, or perhaps made up an assortment   
   of plates and u-bolts and cut some holes in the deck to run the   
   fasteners around the frame. I'll just have to live with my welds and see   
   if they fall off.

   It's about welding mounting plates to the legs while horizontal and then   
   drilling instead of welding once they have been clamped in place on the   
   trailer. I listed the simple equipment I use to locate and drill structural   
   steel accurately enough by hand outdoors. If the welds you don't trust fail   
   that might be the fix.
