AndyMark Transmissions are weird.
So I was working on some PG188 transmissions- specifically converting them from 775 to 550 motors- and I noticed something that struck me as odd.
The bodies and the endplate on the output shaft side are steel, as are the 550 conversion plates. They are, as we all know, obscenely heavy. But here's the thing: The endplates that the motors attach to? Plastic. And these are the things that the bolts holding the whole assembly together thread into! And not only that, but the plastic is webbed! What does that gain them? Certainly not weight savings.
My question is, why do they do this? Does anybody know?
