Update #2 from last year had an update to Appendix A that they called Rule M17 (I'm paraphrasing a little here):
The motors and pump may not be modified except as follows: mounting brackets, output shafts, housings may be modified as long as the electrical system is not modified and the 'integral mechanical system of the moving parts (pump head, bearings, bushings, worm gear output stage, etc.) is not changed or removed.' The gearboxes for 'F-P and drill motors' are not considered integral and may be separated.
No mention of using the Globe gearbox, but it seems to me that it is also not 'integral.'
Umm, yes, the rulebook was sitting on my desk at home...
