Answer
Arnold, This is the trouble with some manufactures. They sell what they call an assembly. The only place that I have been able to find just a gear box has been at ebay. You may have a hard time trying to find it though. One other thing you might try and this happens only sometimes is to go to a R.V. repair shop and see if the gears in your gear box might match up with other gears that are out there, like RBW or atwood. I am referring to the landing jack gears. They come in kits that have basically the gears. I believe that I have a gear box here and I will look tomorrow morning to see if I do. If so and you still have no luck finding one let me know and I will see what we can do from there. You can e-mail me at hunter42558@sbcglobal.net to get back with me if you would like. Thanks, Bill
