M-100 landing leg question.

Post by dv3468 »

Gentlemen: The handle to the landing leg locking bolt handle is broken off on my M-100 trailer. It snapped off flush with the landing leg bracket and I have to push it in with a screwdriver to either lower it or raise it into locking position. My first question is where can I get a new one. I tried Mid-West and he doesn't have one.

Question#2: When I removed it, I noticed that it is stepped, with the wide end locking into the landing leg bracket and the narrower end coming out the right side where the handle should be. Is it a one piece cross bolt or does the narrower end unscrew from the wider end. :? :?: I looked on the 416 trailer and it shows a curved handle that you must pull back to release the landing gear. I don't see how that bent handle can pass through the narrower hole in the other side of the landing leg housing.

Does anyone have a photo of what the M-100 bolt looks.

Thanks for your help. Dennis
