An update:
I had already ordered a new motor (a 7140 rpm vs the 5500 rpm that was installed) and then I discovered the bent leg. So I went ahead and ordered two new legs and a new landing gear. I figured I might as well start off fresh.
I don't know if any of this will help anyone, but with the old legs installed, the old motor was drawing 30 amps to energize and over 2 to run the legs.
With the new motor, gear, and legs, it pulls 29-30 amps to energize then less than 1 amp.
The rocking and rolling of the motor and gear assembly is almost all gone. It was moving all over the place before. Now there is just a hint of the old motion.
I plan to keep the old landing gear as "emergency parts".
She lifted off the hitch fine, she leveled fine. I am going to install a levelmate Pro next and then, perhaps I have spoken too soon, raise her up to hitch level. If that all goes as planned. I'll consider myself qualified to answer basic questions about landing gear
I did have to dig a hole under the bent leg because it jutted out 4 inches.
I also marked my outer legs at fully extended, 5, 10, 15 inches and fully retracted. I marked my inner legs at top hole, and 5,10, 15 inches.
A word of warning. I ordered the legs off Amazon. The follow leg had grease zerks so I was happy, then I opened the lead leg. It didn't so I was sad. Oh well
