Repairing a Truth brand casement window mechanism 

Holy shit it worked! Thank you! My girlfriend was all set to actually buy a whole new window. I figured it was something simple.

You are my flipping hero!!!!! I cant believe it worked!❤

Wanted to give you the boost for saving me a trip to the hardware store on a Saturday! Broke out the punches and the small hammer and fixed my window in 5 minutes. Thank you!

Man!! I have been mucking with my casement for weeks now, glad I have something new to try! Hoping it works, thanks for the tip!

3:30 - I just wanna use my window man, get off my back. lol. I love it. Good video.

I had 3 windows with same problem...for years. Very annoying. This fixed it quick !! Thanks for the video.

Thank you thank you thank you I am literally working on my mom's window right now as we speak. I was just wondering how to fix this. Thank you for the video I will be applying this to my mom's window!!!!

Jim, Thanks this worked great. Instead of using a screw driver to peen the pot metal over, I used a small punch and mini brass hammer I had in the drawer. While I was “in there” so to speak, I removed the trim covering the operator, and cleaned all the shmutz out from under it (dead bugs, leaves, spider egg sacs and the like). After that I cleaned the tracks, lubricated them with silicone spray, cleaned the window seals, and lubricated all the pivot points. My beautiful bride has been wanting this done for a while, so she says thanks for the great tip.

Perfect, repair took 5 minutes and worked wonderfully. I needed a metal tube to drive the brass tube back down inside the operator.

Awesome tip, massive thanks! I was able to tap the core back into the sleeve with a few taps of a screwdriver (hammer assist) and it seated back down inside the sleeve just as shown in your video. I didn't have to crimp the top of the sleeve, at least not yet. Just lubed it up and it was good to go.

Thanks Dad! This just saved me a lot of money doing it myself! Appreciate you!

Thanks! This saved me a ton of effort instead of replacing 3 mechanisms

Kinda wish I found this video a month ago, before I bought a replacement mechanism, instead of while I was looking for a video on how to swap out the mechanism.

Well I've got to give you a huge THANK YOU! We're selling our house and this needed to be fixed ASAP. I was very close to ordering an all new crank and it probably wouldn't have come in time. The only thing I did different was use a bolt to bang the collar in a bit (cause it's a little more blunt than a flathead screwdriver). I thought maybe it would still do the trick without ruining the appearance too much. Seems to have worked. Thanks.

Thank you for making this video. Decided to lube all the pivot points with silicone grease and a spray lube on the other parts.

This helpful video gave me insight as to what was going wrong with my truth window crank. Unfortunately, my crank is enclosed with a non-removable housing. I drilled into the metal housing just a 1/4 from the top lip where the bottom of the crank rests. I drilled partially into the lock washer too. Then I tapped the hole to thread it and installed a set screw. This seemed to work pretty well and it didn't take too much time.

Amazing. I will try and comment later.

I have been trying to solve this problem for years....Truth Corp is no help...if your solution doesn't work, what are my options? Thank you! Dave

Rented an old house and this worked for me. On mine the part that holds the bushing in was metal so I had to whack it pretty good to crimp it in

This worked for me too! Great video, thanks.

Thanks for the video...just saved me installing a new operator which would have been a pain

Thank you!!! Worked perfectly!

ill try to epoxy the bushing to the housing case, hopefully that'll work, before i try that..

THANKS SO MUCH

worked for me!

Does anyone know how to open these wide enough to clean the outside of them.

Where can find 307444 parts. My windows right by the little crank teeth looking , broke off , I need the set of crank case

I came across this while researching a window repair solution. My own window it seems like the first gear tooth doesnt catch - if I manually move it the first tooth it's fine after that. Any idea for how to fix the gear catching on that first tooth? is there an epoxy or something I can apply to give it some friction?

Just put a piece of wire (coat hanger) under the die cast bridge over the worm drive so that the wire sits in front of worm threads. Bend the wire ends so it won't work its way out. Swaging die cast aluminum us just going to fail again. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2ixpXeT8HyA.html

Worked 4 Me!!!
