Replacement gear for original BAL tongue jack

I'm trying to find a replacement bevel gear for the BAL tongue jack on my '76 Land Yacht Sovereign. I'm pretty sure it's the original jack! The pin holding the gear to the crank handle broke, and when I opened it up I discovered that some of the teeth had broken off the gear as well. It was easy peasy to remove the old gears, but I can't seem to find the right size replacement. The gear that attaches to the crank arm is just a bit taller than the bottom gear. Any ideas? I know I can buy a new jack, but it irks me that all I need is those gears and pins and I can't find them.

Do yourself a favor and get a power jack.

You may, however, wish to keep a manual jack if your entourage includes a teenager who needs to be worn out before, for example, a long ride in a confined vehicle.

Power jack for sure - make sure you can open your tailgate of the truck while hitched we have a Lippert 3500 and turned the head.
