I can also do that too. The machinists at my F/T job let me use their small lathe.

No lathe is needed. Just hook up the motor and run it while using a file pressed against the shaft. Works perfectly, just be careful and check every few seconds so you dont go to small. It does not take long at all to do.

If you don't mind me asking, what is the output shaft size on it now?

It is 3/16", you can either turn down the shaft or drill out the pinion. The case also needs a little modification too. The front bearing housing is too thick, I turned that down a little too to make it work in my twin force. | |

Just bore out your pinion gear, it will keep the drivetrain stronger that way!!

I just ended up drilling out an 18 tooth pinion. It works great...
