This is our first year running this drive train. It is a 6CIM west coast drive using the WCP single speed transmissions geared for 14 feet per second.

However, we were very rarely changing directions at full speed. Also, why would the fuses on one side fail but not the other twice?

Sorry, I did not mean to start this debate. I only meant that because we are using the WCD version of the gearboxes, the center wheel of the drive is directly connected to the gearboxes. So it could not have been a mechanical failure that disabled the same side of our drive both times.
