Landing leg crank

[Nick]

Attached are pisc of the adjustable landing leg for my M101. The crank I made to temporarily use has used it temporaryness. The weight of the trailer has egged out the end and its not usable anymore.

So Im looking for a crank to use to adjust this leg. Any ideas, suggestions, better yet, does anyone have what would have been used with this leg?? I could obviously make one out of round stock, but what about the bends and angles?

In the opposite side there is a place I think the crank would be stored in. So IM not exactly sure what would be the proper "tool" for it.

Thanks
Nick

I have one on one of my trailers. I'll try to get pics and dimensions tomorrow.

In some research with a fellow Pwer Wagon-er, we think this landing leg belongs to something else. What do you have yours on? Is it an M101?

we just make new ends .1/4 wall pipe to fit .drill a hole same size as your cross pin all the way through bolth sides of pipe . cut out notches with plas,zip cut ,hacksaw ,whatever you have weld back to crank and your done.or weld an old socket on and use a swing bar or rachet even an impact will work but i dont recomend it.two 90 degree bends in a piece of pipe or solid just leave it long enough for good leverage

Here ya go. I've got the crank you are looking for also. It's on a M116A3.

- showing the twist in the crank

- showing the location of the pin hole

- showing the overall length of the crank

- showing the location of the handle and crank tube

- showing the length of the crank tube

- showing the length and width of the crank tube slot

- showing the wall thickness of the crank tube

 

[number9]

- showing the length of the handle

- showing the thickness of the crank

- showing the crank as it is used

- showing the crank can be stored in either position

- showing that the twist in the crank handle allows room for your hand to grab the landing gear lift handle when the crank tube end is stowed on the bottom end of the landing gear. I don't know if this is WHY the crank has a twist in it, but it's about the only need I can see for the twist.

ETA - I now also think I remember when cranking the landing leg up/down that the twist in the crank allows clearnace when passing by the tongue of the trailer.

Sorry, I've been adrift. The twist was a field mod (somebody had too much wheaties). The diagrams are pretty much what it is.

I am also interested in a handle if anyone had one they wanted to part with.

number9 I think your crank is bent, I bought one of these units NIB and mine is straight, no twist in the flat bar section.

 

[BKubu]

I think CUCVFAN has them. Check with him.

 

[Metternacht]

Thanks. I pm'd him so will see how it goes.

Man....I've been looking for one or two of these complete landing gear systems.

Does anyone know of a source for them?

I'd really like to be able to crank than lift........

any input would be greatly appreciated !!!

thanks

 

[Pawnshop]

I found mine on eBay over a year ago, I had to pay a LOT for it, but it was NIB

I just recently picked up a M101A2. However it was missing a Landing Gear Crank Handle. Anyone know where I can source one?

 

[Recovry4x4]

Folks have been making them lately.
