Atwood Landing Gear, need gear box

[radiodaveaz]

My Nuway Hitchhiker 5th wheel has an Atwood 75192 (Standard) electrict landing gear. The gear box started skipping (jumping) gears when raising the the 5th wheel. I cannot find a gear box that matches mine. Mine uses a round shaft and has holes for bolts to hold collar and cross shaft tube. Replacment ones I have found require a 1/2 flat shaft.

With the motor assembly and gearbox removed, I can manually lift and lower the 5th wheel using the handle.

Is there an adapter kit available to match mine to the newer model gearbox?

Or do I have to byte the bullet and install a heavy duty landing gear system.

Thanks for looking.

I'm not sure, as I've never had that problem.. Have you talked to anyone at Atwood yet?

Check on the NuWa ( Hitchhiker owners forum) This has been discussed many times or even call NuWa, they are very good about helping out.

Yes I did. My model is obsolete.

I have ordered the next Atwood landing gear model up from mine. It is 75333 and the motor 75391. I priced 7 sources and bought from the one with lowest cost (both part numbers and shipping, tax). This landing gear is an upgrade and a better design. Thanks for the replies. Dave, Tucson, Az.
