Window operators

A handy person from Pennsylvania says:
August 31, 2022
The housing on the window operator crank cracks after many years of useage, so the worm gear no longer stays engaged when torque is applied. I need 6 of these crank mechanisms. Do I need to buy the entire window operator assembly, or can I just buy the crank mechanism? Whatever I need to buy, I need 6 of them to replace all of the window operators in my cabin.

Hello,

Since the worm gear that the handle attaches to has broken off of your operator, unfortunately, the entire assembly will need to be replaced. Take a look and compare the dimensions shown on the 39-031 and 39-032 product pages to your assembly, paying close attention to the length of the shorter link arm. 

These operators are compatible with the 39-107FK handle and cover kit if you need those parts as well. Thank you!
