This basic transmission has been in use for several
years. There are minor variations, such as different
shafts on the bevel pinion gear to accommodate belt
alignment on different chassies. All use a bevel pinion
input gear which mates with a combination bevel/spur
gear, which drives a fi nal spur gear.

ounces (7.1cc – 9.0cc) of lithium based No. 2 grease.
