A follow leg cannot be converted to a lead leg with the repair kit; and the only difference between the Lippert Venture 5th Wheel RV Landing Gear Motor # LC142178 and Replacement Motor for Stromberg Carlson Electric Landing Gear # LG-142178 is manufacturer branding.

It's probably time for a new motor and gear box like you suspected. The part #LC276602 that you referenced is the correct gear box and then for a motor #LC196308 and you'd be set.

Hey David, from previous customers of ours who have the same 2020 Keystone Raptor 424 we have determined that your pin box style is the Lippert 1621 which means for a Gen-Y gooseneck adapter you'd want the #GY58GR that you referenced.
