I have, I was just wondering if I missed something since I would think this would be a very good option for a robot (lawnmower transmissions). Its really cheap and its 3 speed, seems like a perfect replacement for a Dewalt if it is more reliable. Wonder what types of loads this thing can handle. Its so cheap maybe I will buy one.
