Abstract
A trailer landing gear includes a lower leg telescopingly joined with an upper leg, the lower leg defining fastener recesses having respective fastener holes. Respective fasteners including heads nested in the fastener recesses can removably join a foot to the lower leg. The lower leg can be retractable into an interior of the upper leg, and due to the recesses, the fastener heads can clear and can be concealed by the upper leg when the lower leg is retracted into the upper leg, to thereby increase the amount of lower leg retraction and increase clearance of the landing gear in a retracted mode. The landing gear can include a grease tube that is disposed in the legs, and can be located between and/or below the ends of the fasteners. The grease tube can include a grease fitting well above a grease tube bottom.
