The handle is hung on the leg for transport in the two tabs that stick out using the pin on the chain. The main part of the crank handle is flat stock, so it fits between the tabs.

You can make one pretty easy if you know how to weld. Several of the trailers I had had the handles missing. If you need the specs you can look online or pm me I can show you the ones I have made. Ps did you find the correct # for the shock from croft?

Read the tech manual?

It is full of answers and pictures.

I bought one of those from realsundance. Expensive, and you sure don't want to lose it, but the quality is there and it is better than the original. I'm very happy with it. Just would not pin it up outside the trailer. It needs to be in a toolbox.

sure did......

read it to my 7 y/o son last night before he went to bed...after i got done reading it to him he looked at me w/ a tear in his eye and said to me "Daddy one day I want to be just like "doghead" when I grow up"

I looked at him as i held back my tears and said "In due time son ..in due time.We all have to work hard to get to where Mr Doghead is. Now say your prayers and go to sleep"



......It might be easier to just buy one from a helpful fellow member though

Just used my new hand crank from sundance today. WOW, a "must have" piece. Very well made with tidy welds, nice olive drab paint and perfect size/fit. Very impressed.

I bought one from sundance as well. very happy with the purchase.
Even happier to have a crank leg on my M101A2!
Yeah, the crankability of the leg is wondrous. I had my trailer maxed-out w/ firewood, and the ability to apply the brakes and crank her up off my hitch just made my day.

These trailers are truly awesome.
