can i buy just the gears on slide out motor?

04 Newmar Kountry Star diesel, back bedroom slide motor has stripped gears, it's a Klauber motor. The large main gear is stripped. Anyone know where to buy just the gear instead of a $500 motor? Newmar 24806 is part number of motor

  • Hmm, depending on the motor brand itself and model number yes and no. Some need gear pullers some do not. Some just have a hex screw to keep the gear on, some have worm drive... Go after Newmar is the start and check with their service.
  • As stated, go to Newmar and follow the links. They show gears,for the slide assy. You have to pick out the one you need.
  • never gave it a thought in my last post but i had the same issue and i took my gear to a machinist and he welded the bad part solid and then re-cut the teeth. it was a lot cheaper than buying more than i needed.
  • I tried to a few years back with NO luck. Maybe you'll have better luck, would be nice if one could. Seems like a waste to buy the whole motor assembly just because one gear is broke. Good Luck

  • I went to the address below and got the parts that i needed one time and the next time they advised me of another company that helped me to find another part that they did not have. Hope this helps

  • Based on experience, probably not.
    The one I had trouble with was not a Klauber, though.
    BUT, the factory said they did not have any parts for the model we had, so we had to buy a complete motor and gearbox. Luckily, an extended warranty covered most of the cost.
