Thanks for posting. Your operator handle looks similar to our 39-114; compare dimensions listed on the product page to be sure. However, if your handle no longer fits on the 'spline', or if the spline is worn down, then I'm afraid most likely your entire operator needs to be replaced. We can help you do this; we will need to see the operator removed from the window, with its link arm(s) in full view. This will help us narrow down what you need. You can see a video about casement operator removal and replacement below. Thanks!

If you feel as though you will need a new operator, we can help you with that. We will need for you to send us some photos of the complete operator from a bird's eye view. We will also need to see some close up photos of the arms of the operator along with measurements. From there, we can get started on some recommendations for you.

Thanks for getting back to us. Did you just need the handle and cover? If so, see our 39-114L and 39-107, respectively.

However if you're referring to that center metal post, called a "spline," then you will need a new operator. These cannot be repaired or replaced in any way.

You can see the pricing for the 39-114L and 39-107 on their respective store pages, but I cannot predict how much the operator will be. I don't know what you have. I need to identify it before I can tell you anything else about it. In order to do that, we need you to remove it from the window and show us one photo of the entire mechanism.
