Some trailers, even heavy ones early on did NOT have a jockey wheel. The 1 1/4 ton welder/generator trailer started out with a swivel and leg the same as from a Jeep trailer. The quadrant that swivels down is the same for any of them. Reproductions of the quadrant and leg for the Jeep trailers exist. That is one possible option.

When you say you have the casting, is this the same casting as the full size Ben Hur? A swivel with a cast cup looking thing that the landing leg welded onto? Are you looking for a ful size Ben Hur landing leg and wheel for this slightly smaller trailer?

Often people refer to the drawbar casting as "the casting" the swivel is the "quadrant" in the manual and the landing fork bolts to that. The quadrant on a Ben Hur has a pin that the landing fork rotates on, but on a Jeep trailer a fixed leg bolts to that quadrant. The quadrant from a Jeep trailer will fit the drawbar casting on a Ben Hur and vice/versa, of course the landing fork and wheel would be way to big and tall for a Jeep trailer, but the quadrant would fit.Kaiser Krazy wrote: ↑Wed Oct 26, 2022 2:37 pmWhen you say you have the casting, is this the same casting as the full size Ben Hur?

thanks saw 'quadrants' on epay for MBTs so I guess i can buy one of those and then keep hunting for the leg and wheel. I'm alsoseeing some sort of 'clip' people are talking about for the ben hur//// how does that fit in the picture?

The clip bolts to the drawbar and holds the landing fork in place to keep the landing wheel from flopping around when going down the road. If your trailer didn't have a landing wheel originally there may not be any holes for that clip, as it wouldn't have had one. And again as your trailer is early it's possible issues on the 3/4 ton trailers with the landing wheel moving while in transit resulted in the clip being added on the later trailers.
