Left the trailer in storage out at G, so I cant measure it. Ive got an Attitude 5er and the landing gear on one side wasnt moving when I left it a couple of wks ago. Looked in there and found I had lost the bolt that connects the bar on both sides which turns the gears to move the feet. I think that makes sense kenk.gif My question is, can I use just a cotter pin, or do I need an actual bolt? If I should use a bolt, does anyone have a trailer at home they can measure how long the bolt shou be. I know it cant be too long because it needs to clear the motor. dunno.gif

Use a shoulder bolt, the cotter pins brake and fall out. I had to dill mine out a bit but I never had a problem after doing it.

Mine broke at the dealer when brand new. The mechanic replaced the cotter pin with a small key ring. It's working great so far been that way for about a year.
