Talking Re: 2012 KOP Fisher price with AM Planetary Gearbox
Just got a package from Andy Mark. Three shafts with the 5 planetary gear posts, 6 new planetary gears, and 3 tubes of silicone grease!

They are out stock on the transmission, but we can easily rebuild our old one now. We will use 5 of the new gears but keep the old 4, which appear to be in great shape, as spares. And we now have two spare shafts for insurance.

We will tear down our other tranny, clean if up, and re-lube it. Hope things go well.

Thank you Andy Mark for fast customer service!

I hope they didn't have too many go bad. I did get the stuck pinion off. It got ugly but its bore and the shaft were already pretty ugly. The top of the pinion post looks mushroomed!

Bob,
