Arrow Drill adapter for crank

Hey y'all!

I have a 1995 Jayco 5th wheel. Love the old girl. But it's got the manual crank for the landing gear. Does anyone know where I can purchase an adapter for my drill to run the gear?

If not I may try to make my own.

Thanks!

And Happy Camping!

Any hardware store will have it. You need a hex driver to 3/8" male socket adapter, then attach any 13/16" socket . Should cost you maybe a buck or 2.

Just buy another crank and cut the end off to fit in a drill.

Take a look at the ultra J hook. Camping world price is better than Amazon.

I combined a 1/2" socket with a random Allen wrench. Seams to work well, I'll just have to tweak it some.

Open to other ideas though

Try one of these universal sockets they come in various sizes, it should grip the end of that shaft.
