Landing gear issue

It seems it's always something with this thing. I went to park our cyclone after our latest outing and the motor side of the landing gear is not moving. When moved manually the result is the same. I can see the bolt is still there that connects the square linkage to the motor. The DS leg works flawlessly either with the motor or while manually cranking it

I'm assuming that there is some kind of gear that sheared between the motor and the landing gear. I know I have read about this on the forum before but for the life of me I can't find anything on it. Is it a matter of just changing out the motor?

Please advise

Does the motor run and does the DS leg move ?? It may just be the pin in the top of the leg is sheered or out of place, happened to me pin was out of place and the pinion gear was slipping.

Yes the DS leg works fine. I crawled up in over my generator cover to take a look earlier. I couldn't see anything obvious. I'm not sure what pin you are referring to. Is this something that is easily seen or is it internal?

Yes it is internal, If its not the generator side the leg is easy to pull.

It is the generator side

There is a bolt on each side that connects the square shaft to the jack. Are they both there??

Yes, both bolts are there. That square shaft will turn both manually and electrically. Everything works as advertised except the ODS gear does not move.

Just makes it harder to get out. May have to jack the trailer up farther.They usually come out thru the front compartment,only held in with two carriage bolts.
