strange landing gear retract problem
so I have encountered a strange problem. my motor side landing gear extends and retracts just fine. my other side extends fine, but wont retract unless it has pressure on it. It wont release enough ...

Usually it works just the opposite: the legs come up but don't want to go down and raise the trailer.
I would pull the top cover on the leg, and actually check to make sure the bevel gears are working as they should. These are very simple mechanisms, so there isn't much to go wrong. If the bevel gear is turning and the jackscrew is turning, then it would appear that the jackscrew threads are messed up or the thread insert that follows the threads. But that doesn't really explain why it works down but not up. I'll have to admit it has me stumped.
Please post back with the solution when you find it. I'm dying to know what was wrong.
