1999 landing gear crank

[jjotmo]

Does any one know where I can get a replacement crank for my 1999 jayco landing gear? A dealer called for me and it is no longer available from jayco. The end looks like a D. I want to make a speed adapter for my drill.

It might be worth contacting Jayco directly. We were told on our tour of Jayco that Jayco supplies parts for any product it ever produced/built. Hope you can find the part. (That's funny... our family also calls the stabilizers 'landing gear')

Here's one thread that may have an answer: Spare Tire Crank

That's a great idea thank you. I also was checking out the assembly looking for a manufacturer and noticed that it is removable with a pin so I may Fab something up that way. Definitely disappointing that jayco does not sell something like this.

I just wanted to update. No pics yet but soon. I ended up taking a 5/8 deepwell socket and drilling a hole in it to secure it to the rod with the retaining clip. Now i need to cut and grind a 1/2 " extension to fit my drill. I like this because it can easily be changed back to stock.

Good old American ingenuity gets the job done every time. Glad you were able to get something to work.

Here are a couple of pictures. One note if anyone does this use 3/8 socket it will make it much easier

Contact Jayco and ask about Product Number 0502470 - Handle, Crank Manual. It is not an exact replacement for the original but it fits the landing gear and spare tire D-profile shaft. I have a 2010 Designer and had to replace my Crank. The replacement worked good.
