Re: Prototype transmission for potential use this year
well the play isn't on the bronze gear, that mating is actually pretty good. it's specifically between the andymark hub, keystock, and axle. Also we don't have the tools for hex shafts and it would be a major pain to deal with the bearings considering how it has to be assembled. but even then there would be some inherent play anyway. One option would be to setscrew the key in place. or get the 3/8 hubs and then bore and broach it ourselves for a tighter fit. The axle was sanded down though so maybe whoever did that went too far. may not be worth messing with though
