and maybe a new set of gears. The SHS 13:1s are still in good shape... the spur on the fat side is a bit polished for obvious reasons... it ate away at the gearbox more than the gear. Some grinding occurred at the extreme sides of the teeth... so my spur and sector are a fraction more helical than straight cut now.
I didn't even lay into the trigger when it went... just pulled it sounded like the motor height came undone... I pulled once more to verify, no more cycle. And that was that. Pretty obvious what happened once the gearbox came out. |
And that's why you don't use bearings.
