Solution for Replacement Gears for Discontinued Atwood Sidewind Jack

Question:

I need gears for a sidewind Atwood tongue jack that was manufactured 30 years ago. Gears are 1.75 in diameter, 3/4 in height. Can you provide a repair kit or direct me to a source who might have them? This is to fit a Freedom Wheels trailer and it has a special bracket welded to the frame. Thank you.

Atwood jacks are no longer being produced which means replacement parts like gears are no longer available. The # BD5002581360 you looked at does have similar dimensions for the large gear, but it is designed for Bulldog jacks not Atwood.

I understand you want to repair this rather than replace it, but more than likely replacement is the only option. You could try to find an old jack at a junk yard and pull gears out of it but that's a long shot. If you can't find anything then you could weld-on a new one like the Bulldog Square Jack # BD190751.

I have included a link with all of our sidewind jacks below for your reference.
