Hopefully the motor will be right there and the gear will be apparent. I would look under the motor and see if there are remains of whatever was in the gear for a shear pin. Now my coach was 11 years old when I got it. That area had been the focal point of some problem and it was apparent that someone else had been there before me. (I found this everywhere I found a problem) I may be that there was a set screw that stripped out and my PO had drilled it and pinned it with the cotter key. He did a lot of tinkering and had a lot of tools I think.

I can see the motor, but cannot see the gears. I can reach my fingers behind the metal plate and I think I can feel a chain and maybe a sprocket, but I'm not totally sure. Manually screwing it out with a ratchet, it couldn't be any smoother, so I don't know why it broke, but it is 13 years old now. Thanks for you assistance.
