Broken Landing Gear need HELP!
So I just pulled onto my site for the weekend and while I was extending the landing gear so I could unhook the shaft that the shear pin goes through broke disabling that leg. Pics below. Is this rep...

Look like someone re-drilled the shaft to put in a larger bolt???
I was thinking the same thing. Did you buy the 5er new?
I also have Venture gear and snapped a sheer pin while camping. In a pinch I used a regular bolt and forgot about it, my bad. Mine snapped in about the same location. After you get back home you might look into just adding a second motor. Venture sells the complete switch over package I believe. That is the route I'm taking if it ever happens again.
Is there a special shear pin for the cross shaft. Looked like a regular black 1/4" bolt to me.
Found this Venture repair kit for $45.
Going to order it. Also going to see about greasing the gears and screw shaft. I think its dry. The motor has been groaning at different heights.
