ch5993 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I'm most of the way through re furbishing my ferret gearbox. Starting to re assemble but I have an issue with the 1st/2nd gear brake drums. It looks like at some stage they have overheated and the 1st gear drum has warped slightly so that it is now slightly oval. This means the second gear drum can no longer rotate in it and was jammed in when I took it apart. Has anyone had any experience of this? Is skimming the second gear drum to make it fit an acceptable solution, leaving first gear slightly warped? any ideas appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would renew the offending parts as any machining will not cure the problem. If you are looking for parts I would try Richard Banister, 01797 253211 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
