Here are some approximate CC distances measured from the one in my basement:

Motor to #1 1.375” approximately
#1 to #2 1.630” measured across the idler shafts and subtracted .375”
#2 to #3 1.707” also measured across the shafts.
#3 to #4 2.247” approximately because there isn’t much to measure to on the last gear.

Ivan is totally right, I'm an idiot. Of course the Mod would increase as the reductions do.

I guess set up some formulas to get an approximate mod based on those C-C, then round the Mod to the nearest actual (it should be pretty darn close), then calc a precise C-C from that.
