5th wheel landing gear adapter

the socket is a great idea, but the landing gear is a slotted unit, I did think of using a long socket and cut the slot, just didn't know if it would weaken it to much.
this is pic of socket, it is to short. looks like I will buy the whole handle and cut it off

Why not get a socket that fits the same size as your handle and weld it onto a piece of steel rod. Should be quite a bit cheaper than the adapter/new handle cost.

thanks, that's what I thought too. found and adapter locally for 49.99
I can buy a full handle and cut it for 19.99.

are they all the same size. not sure what my 2001 cardinal would have. I do have the whole handle, but would like an adapter for my drill.

Simple solution would be to find an other identical handle and simply cut it off. I know a couple guys who have done this...

I agree with Lyle, just find another handle like yours and cut it off for your drill.
