Landing Gear

We recently purchased a 2011 3100ES Sundance and are experiencing a definite unusual noise from the gear box side when raising and lowering; especially when lowering the unit (raising the gear).

Did not know if anyone else has had this problem and we have not contacted our dealer about this yet, but expect to. Any help or thoughts, including our self-help would be appreciated. Thank you.

It sounds like it might be coming from the gear box. I would get with your dealer and they should be able help you.

Thanks,

What type of noise is it? Look at the motor when you are running the jacks and see if it's moving enough to contact the "shear bolt" that is in the shaft. On our rig it was just above the motor so I had to suspend the motor a bit to keep it from touching that bolt. At the same time, leave a little play in the support so the motor can still "float".
