Tongue Jack

[Leslie & Nick]

Has anyone ever replaced the steel pin mounted on the crank handle of the tongue jack? This pin engages a gear that turns another flat gear that raises the tube up or down. This is an Atwood, sidewinding jack with 1000 lb capacity, mounted on a TM 2619. The local RV store sells the pins ($1.95) so I'm guessing that there is a way to do this. Is there more than one size pin?

I know this is an old post, but I thought I would respond for my jack. My Atwood is a 2000 lb jack which broke when I arrived at the campsite trying to disconnect from my TV. The pin is a 3/16” X 1” roll pin (or as ACE calls it a pinch pin). Drove 40 miles round trip to pick up one at ACE Hardware for $0.40. Easy 5 minute job to replace.
