Yours looks like mine....
1/2 inch diameter pin.....5-1/2 x 1-1/2 measured center of pin.
Simple enough for me! Thanks a bunch, I'll have one done by lunch tomorrow, may even have some matching chain too.

I scrounged up some scrap SS bar & tubing & made a handle to operate the landing leg. The problem is that the welding helmet hadn't been used in a long time & I thought I arc flashed my eyes, luckily, no pain during the night proved me wrong. No pictures because the crank handle looks horrible, so another attempt will be given a go for the second version of the trailer crank handle this week.

Thanks for the measurements as to what it is supposed to look like.
