|  mod for small pinions
k, i have a 10t pinion (tower was out of 9t & 8t), and i dont know how to move the motor over so the gears meet. i thought i was gonna be able to dremel the mounting holes into slots, so i can just slide it over. but i cant do this because there is a tube that goes from one side of the gearbox to the other. its kinda hard to explain but i hope you guys know what im talking about. am i gonna have to dremel both of the tubes out and make slots? or is there another way? i dont want to buy anything cuz i pretty much have a machine shop in my basement.

| OR... You could dremel one the the motor mounts holes into a curved 'slot'. That will allow the motor to slide and bring the gear mesh closer. |

Adjustable motor mounts are easiest the way to go. Everything just bolts on and you don't run the chance of messing up your gearbox.  Last edited by CPE MT; 10-29-2006 at 11:36 AM. |
