Jack for raising and lowering a working implement such as hydraulically driven snow blades or other utilitarian accessories. Actuation of the jack allows for proper vertical alignment of the lift assembly for engagement to a vehicle chassis. Once engaged, the jack can be actuated into an inoperative position until the lift assembly is to be removed from the chassis.

What is claimed is: 1. Jack for raising or lowering a snow plow lift assembly relative to a substrate, comprising: a snow plow lift assembly adapted to be mounted to a vehicle chassis, said lift assembly comprising a frame; a linking member coupled to said lift assembly and dedicated to raising and lowering said frame; a jack having a first end and a second end spaced from said first end, said second end adapted to contact said substrate, said jack being coupled to said frame between said first and second ends, and to said linking member, and being movable upon actuation of said linking member relative to said substrate. 2. The jack of claim 1, wherein said linking member lifts said jack relative to said substrate. 3. The jack of claim 2, further comprising an actuator coupled to said jack, whereupon actuation of said linking member to raise said jack creates stored energy in said actuator. 4. The jack of claim 3, wherein said actuator includes a manually operable member for releasing said stored energy to lower said jack. 5. The jack of claim 3, wherein said actuator comprises a gas spring. 6. The jack of claim 1, wherein said jack is pivotally coupled to said frame about a pivot axis, and wherein rotational movement of said jack about said pivot axis raises or lowers said lift assembly. 7. The jack of claim 6, wherein said rotational movement is accomplished by lifting said linking member. 8. The jack of claim 6, further comprising an actuator coupled to said jack and biasing said second portion toward said substrate. 9. The jack of claim 1, further comprising an actuator coupled to said jack, said actuator comprising a spring coupled to said rod and to said frame, whereupon actuation of said linking member to raise said jack creates stored energy in said spring. 10. The jack of claim 9, wherein said spring is a gas spring. 11. The jack of claim 9, wherein said spring comprises a release lever for releasing said stored energy in said spring. 12. Jack for raising or lowering a snow plow lift assembly relative to a substrate, comprising: a snow plow lift assembly adapted to be mounted to a vehicle chassis, said lift assembly comprising a frame; a linking member coupled to said lift assembly and dedicated to raising and lowering said frame; a jack having a first portion coupled to said frame of said snow plow lift assembly, and a second portion spaced from said first portion adapted to contact said substrate, said jack being coupled to said linking member and movable upon actuation of said linking member relative to said substrate, wherein said linking member lifts said jack relative to said substrate, and an actuator coupled to said jack, whereupon actuation of said linking member to raise said jack creates stored energy in said actuator. 13. The jack of claim 12, wherein said actuator includes a manually operable member for releasing said stored energy to lower said jack. 14. The jack of claim 12, wherein said actuator comprises a gas spring. 15. Jack for raising or lowering a snow plow lift assembly relative to a substrate, comprising: a snow plow lift assembly adapted to be mounted to a vehicle chassis, said lift assembly comprising a frame; a linking member coupled to said lift assembly and dedicated to raising and lowering said frame; a jack having a first portion pivotally coupled to said frame of said snow plow lift assembly about a pivot axis, and a second portion spaced from said first portion adapted to contact said substrate, said jack being coupled to said linking member and movable upon actuation of said linking member relative to said substrate, wherein rotational movement of said jack about said pivot axis by lifting said linking member raises or lowers said lift assembly. 16. The jack of claim 15, further comprising an actuator coupled to said second portion and biasing said second portion toward said substrate.
