Harrison has a little shameless behaviour in the past

What are you going to use to shift it?
We're using a small pneumatic solenoid (around a 2" stroke).

It will be attatched to the shaft that is furthest away from the chip motor (see the 1st 2 imagesIi posted), and move those gears, and thus the speed that shaft is spinning at (it is our output shaft).

As for being beefy, well, yeah...lol...thats an understatement

It won't ever break, but we are paying for that with weight (altho granted it is spread out a lot).

I'll post more pics once it's all assembled (looking like that will probably be tonight, or tomorrow for sure).

Thx for the comments!
