Pella Crank handle

Question

Please see attached pictures. Pella windows were manufactured in 1974 per numbers found on sill, 704CC. Three of the four crank handles no longer work; however, one of the original cranks (stamped #4 on top, X-429 on bottom)fits and works flawlessly over the shaft/spline. Pella sent me two different handles which they claimed would work; their parts numbers, 0C0800P1, 0C080002. They barely grab the tip of the shaft. Pella's solution is for me to replace the roto mechanisms at a hefty price. Would appreciate any advise or help. Looks like 39-109B but not sure this will work

Thanks for posting.Your handle does in fact look similar to our 39-109B handle. Take a look and see what you think. However check to see if your operator itself is worn. That could be where the problem is. I have also made a list of Pella crank operators on the upper right hand side of this page if you should need to replace them as well.
