Looking for some help for the window above the sink. I have seen other posts for other windows but not that one per say. I think I have to remove it since I can't get at the gear mechanism to attach it or lubricate it. Any pics as I don't want to damage my egg.
Thanks for all the help and we'll wishes

You should be able to remove the handle and spray some lubricant into the gear box. We did that to another member's trailer at a meet when they could not get the window to close. Gently used vise grips to turn the gear in increasing 1/4 turn increments and back, repeating the lube each time. 2 months later we got a report that the gearbox is working as good as new. Check a functional window with the gearbox on the same side of the frame- so you know which way to turn. Once the window is open you can clean and lube all the joints.
I have recently acquired several windows of the same make as the ones in Trilliums. They are mostly the wrong size, but I plan cut them down to make four kitchen windows. They will then be installed into the two 1300's I have, that don't have kitchen windows. The other two will wait till I need them.
Trailer: 1972 Boler American and 1979 Trillium 4500

I've unstuck a few of them. It takes 2 people, 1 inside cranking and one outside moving the windows. Clean em and lube em and they have worked. Have not had to do more than that.
The mechanics are pretty basic gear drives and levers.
