Can somebody please let me know where to get a gearbox for the Atwood motors? (The large black ones that were new last year)
what kind of gear box do you want…i know team 716 has thier dual with drill motor in the white pages. and i have my teams dual with drill motor and some sketches of ideas or whatnot. just check white pages and you’ll find a lot
The most interesting post on the subject last year was the first : it was just a mounting for the cluster gear, so it would mesh with the motor shaft. From there, you make up your own procedure.
Probably the most complicated “Atwood” gearing was our system, in which a a larger hole and a keyway were EDM’d into the gear, and the gear was placed on a splined bushing a la change gears in a lathe, and the other gear on the bushing meshed with the main gear in the transmission.

Sounds interesting. We were planning something of the sort for this year provided we get the Chias again. Is there a pic of this you can post or provide a link to?
