Based on the numbers you mentioned you have the very common Lippert style of landing gear on your trailer. The lead leg is designed to have a gear box and motor attached to it but there isn't a way to add a separate motor to the follower leg for independent operation.

The best solution we have would be to replace your landing gear with a powered set that has two motors that can be operated individually like the Reese kit part # RP500708. This is a 8k kit with switches that allow for individual leg operatation.
