Re: Reducing globe motor without special tools.

Thanks for the help. We just modified two of ours. We tacked the 2nd stage gears onto the plate and ground down the outside teeth. Worked great.

We reduced a second gearbox by drilling small holes in the gears and plate and inserting pins. This also seems to work great if you have the machining capabilities.
