Trailer jack shear pins

The handle on my trailer tongue/leveling jack only spins. I took it apart, and there is a shear pin that holds the gear from spinning. I hope I described this correctly. Is there a good source for these pins? To describe the jack itself, it has a weld on fixture that the common jack pins to on the trailer frame. The jack was on a Drash Trailer, but it looks common to many 3/4 to 1 ton military trailers.

The jack compares well to a HMMWV M1101 jack, that I just now took a look at. The difference being the leg on a M1101 is round and a square leg with holes drilled in the leg for adjustment on this jack. It came on a Drash trailer that I think are purpose built. I took a few pictures, but the sun wasn't helping. I think the pin may be the same as a M1101 jack, but I haven't taken one of those apart.

I used a roll pin from a Harbor Freight variety pack for mine. IIRC it needed slight trimming with a grinder to fit in the gear's notch.

I cleaned and greased everything up with ngli 1 grease while I was in there.
