Surely you want it OUTSIDE the front plate of the new gearbox :scratch: --- End quote --- I thought so too. I just don't have enough room to do it that way. The pulley that is used to drive the wheels is located very close to the motor. That would locate the gears directly in the way of the pulley on the crankshaft driving the auger/impeller. Lack of space is forcing me to come up with a strange solution. It will be clearer in a few days (I hope!) :bugeye: Eric --- End quote --- Are you going to run the gears dry Eric? :scratch: Dave |

There's nothing in the data sheet for the gears that say they have to be oiled/greased... So I was going to run them dry. Maybe some a drop or two here and there. Eric |

If they are open (ie not enclosed) I'd use a sticky oil like chain bar oil or lathe way oil to stop it flying off. But they need some form of lubrication if they are to last. |
