Hello,

I would recommend starting by comparing the specifications of the 39-171 and 39-172 to your casement window operator.

As for your awning window, your photo reminds me of the 39-348, which is used with the 36-078 shoe studs that are sold separately. Take a look and compare the specifications below to your original hardware and let us know if you have any other questions. Thank you!

Thanks. 39-171 looks to be correct. 39-348 is the right length. However the shoe stud where looks materially different. A copy of the base where the awning operator attached is attached to this response. Let me know what is the correct shoe stud

Also attached is a picture of the window crank I need to repalce

Thanks for getting back to us. If you think that the 36-078 shoe stud may differ from yours, we'd be happy to look into this further but we would need to see detailed photos of your original stud detached from the track. Please also write out any dimensions that differ from the ones shown above. Though I still believe that the 36-078 looks like the part in your photos, seeing additional images would help us confirm if a better match is available.

I took part of the base apart. The problem is the part of the window crank that as on the inside of the house, not the outside. The crank spins in place and wont close the window. I can get the window open not closed. The part that doent work are attached.

Thank you for clarifying, Unfortunately, the spline shown in your photo that attaches the handle to the operator base is not designed to be replaced. Once this part breaks, the entire operator would need to be swapped out.

Do you have ta replacement for the entire unit like for the other casement. What you showed me looks like the outside part, the show stud but no cranking mechanism

Unfortunately, the 36-078 shoe studs do not come preattached to the 39-348 operator. You may be able to reuse your original shoes and, if not, they would need to be purchased in addition to the operator.

The 39-171 does not use an attachment. The link arm connects to the bracket attached to your sash as shown in your first photo. If you're referring to the brackets, past customers have used the 39-545 and 39-546 with this assembly but you should be able to reuse the originals if they are still in good condition.
