Landing Gear Motor and Gear Box for Keystone Montana 2980

Question:

I have a 2004 Keystone Montana 2980 5th wheel and sounds like its time for a replacement Motor and Gear Box for the landing gear which gives a skippingfoot sound like an old starter that is missing a few Teeth ! The only markings I find on the existing unit are Venture Mfg. Co.inch with no model or serial numbers. Can you tell me what replacements parts I will need ? Im looking at your Item # LG-196308 and Item # LG-179015 and they lookfoot right and Im feeling these would work - but Will they ? ?

The Keystone Montana series of 5th wheel trailers uses a specific landing gear kit from Lippert Components, the company that built the RV frame.

For a replacement Lead Leg use part # LC178653; for a replacement Follow Leg use part # LC178652. For a new gearbox use part # LG-179015 and for a motor kit if needed use part # LG-196308 that you referenced.
