Question:

Ok I have a Atwood land gear that needs replaced on 98 Jayco. The bevel gears in the legs are worn out. It has the 75721 electric motor and 71320 gear box. The legs are also welded to plates that bolt to the trailer frame not U shaped mounts with pins Reading all the Questions it look like I can order a Manuel crank landing gear and reuse my electric motor. Am I correct or should I order one with a electric motor and call it a day. I would be cutting the old jacks off the mounting plates and welding those U shaped clips on to hold the new jacks if that makes difference in the model I order.

Hey Brian, I would recommend just starting totally over with a new landing gear set like the Stromberg Carlson part # LG-1. At one point there was some confusion on whether or not the Atwood landing gear components were interchangeable with the other brands like Lippert, LCI, Venture, Stromberg etc. so while your old motor MIGHT work there's a big enough risk it wouldn't that I wouldn't go that route. This also gives you all new components so wouldn't have to worry about having to replace a motor down the line.

This comes with the needed brackets you'll want to weld to your trailer as well so it's everything you'd need.
