Since this hole pattern is larger than the DC980 model, the plate needs to have a larger OD. We used 3". The servo plate will need a bit of adjusting as well to accomodate the larger hole pattern.

We do not use the method of boring out the sun gear as described in the NBD Paper, so I cannot speak to any mods needed on the transmisison case. Last year we successfully used the StevenB method of using a "sun gear adaprter" described in this thread:

It worked beautifully for us last year.

Hope this helps you get started. Let me know if you need more info.

Thanks for the help Mike.....I had one other question for you or anyone else....what are the most common ways of mounting the gearboxes? The only way I've seen is using the aluminum shaft collars from mcmaster, and welding them to the frame. We are using the kit frame this year and don't have welding capabilities. Has anyone ever used Dewalts for a drive system on the KOP frame?
