Double edged sword. Myfords claim they are there to quieten the gear train down but the ML7 has steel gears. The earlier ML7's, non gearbox model, have a two piece leadscrew with a brass shear pin so it acts as the 'fuse', later ones had a one piece leadscrew and steel gears so no fail safe. If I owned a super 7 I'd replace the 20T and 30T tumbler gear with cast ones as they wear better and go to a two piece leadscrew with brass shear pin. In the event of a crash like Rob has had it would only be a case of fitting a new pin and carry on with the job, no expense, no waiting and typical lack of Myford foresight to lose something they had.
