Abstract: In the present construction the tongue wheel is mounted on a strut assembly for pivotal movement from an upper carrying position with the wheel above the tongue to a lower working position with the wheel below the tongue. A lever is insertable in a socket on the strut assembly to pry the wheel down to its working position and lift the tongue off the trailer hitch of the towing vehicle. The same lever is insertable in a different socket in the strut assembly to steer the tongue wheel during manual maneuvering of the trailer. A stand or foot is extendable from the strut assembly to support the tongue independently of said wheel when desired. When the tongue wheel is shifted to its carrying position above the tongue it may be locked in such position to prevent theft of the wheel.
