We would like to replace the original crank handles with either the T-handle or the newer fold down/hideaway cranks. The Lincoln windows are from 1989 , and we are guessing the color is "putty" . Please provide input as to what we can purchase to replace. Thx

Hello! Thanks for your patience during this busy season. Before I recommend anything, can you tell me the diameter of the hole? Please be as precise as possible. Can you also show me the base of the operator where this will be installing?

Hole appears to be ~3/4".
Also I found a number inside the crank handle (40085). They are Truth mechanisms.
Pictures attached

Thank you! These are definitely Truth brand operators, which means the diameter of the handle's hole must be 11/32". Truth never made any other size. With this in mind, I am very confident that the 39-107FK will work for you.

What would be the proper color to order?
Thx

That's difficult to say. Yours looks like it could be clay, but that's not an easy thing to gauge from a photo. Different lighting in different homes always tends to always make the shade look a little different than it actually is. We have photos on the 39-107FK store page that you can use as a reference, though.
