Casement window crank

The picture is the left side, we need the right side crank. The window is in a closed position and won't open.

Can you identify what we need, found a tag that says Traco on the lock.

It's cold out and they don't want the window open, so I can't remove it yet. So, if you can't identify I'll have to wait for warmer weather.

Ruler is not mine (lol), just used one from a desk for reference. The end is about where the hole is in the end of the arm.

I'm confident we can find a match, but your ruler is obscuring most of the important details. We just need you to show us the arm itself, and can you confirm the length of the arm by reading it off to us?

Arm is about 12" from hole on the end to the elbow (bend) in the arm.

Thank you! We don't have an operator that has a 12" arm, but we carry many that are close. Take a look at the list I made on this page. In addition to the arm length, it's also important to make sure the wheel bearing at the end of the arm is the same style. Also take note of the way your operator mounts to the sill. I can't tell if it mounts from the front or back. Depending on which operator you pick you might need to order some 33-205 threaded nuts to install the operator, or pick up some nuts and bolts at a local hardware store in your area.
