Hi,
My gear box looks pretty good; no broken teeth and the shafts and bearings look good.
But the main drive pinion and tumbler assembly have too much slop and wear. One can see how the main drive pinion has been deformed wear it drives the the tumbler gear. I'm thinking to have the main drive pinion ground round to have the 'bumps' removed. And then it will ride better in the tumbler bushing.
Has anyone fixed this before? Any better ideas?
I have to hire this work out, since my lathe is my only machine tool.
