I got a fuel tank and i need some landing leggs too but dang they are not cheap some guys want the leggs i walk on forremaua2cents:cookoo::driver:
I bought one from CUCVFAN. It was not cheap...although I thought the price was fair for an NOS crank up landing leg...but it is very useful. I use my M101 to haul firewood regularly, which means the trailer usually has a lot of weight on it. The crank up landing leg makes hooking up a breeze. Again, for me, it is well worth the extra money to make the trailer more useable. Now, if someone just hauls their trailer to a show and does not really use it, the extra money for the crank up landing leg is not worth it.

If you search posts by me, somewhere I posted pics with a tape measure on mine for someone. I made one out of flat stock and a section of black iron pipe from Lowes, was easy and cheap.

sorry to rehash this, but I'm about to get a 101a3 landing leg sans handle and since I won't have access to a welder for the near future I thought that this may work. No idea how much force is required to turn these suckers, but here goes.
Grind out a notch in an impact socket and turn it with something like this
Northern Industrial Speed Wrench — 1/2in. Drive | Ratchets Handles| Northern Tool + Equipment

I have a much heavier duty version than that, but couldn't find it online. Would that give me enough torque to get it down or no?

I don't know what the effect of the impact would be on the gears. A decent cordless drill in low gear might work too. Someone was selling repops on an auction website a while back.

I wasn't saying to use an actual drill/gun, just use the impact socket since they tend to be a bit heavier duty than normal sockets and to use the speed crank to turn it
