Re: A few questions about my Lot 4

Wow that¡¯s one massive gear set. Looks like about 10 to 1. ?With them helical gears it should run nice and quiet. The set screw holding the pulley is Dalton. That¡¯s the way Dalton countershaft pulleys we¡¯re secured. With that high ratio in the gear box that explains the small input pulley size. Just a bit of info the three step countershaft pulley should run at 250 rpm. Daltons had a top speed from the factory of 480 rpm though we always run them faster. With drip feed oilers on the spindle bearings I have ran them at 1000 rpm for short periods. Dennis

Hi Dennis,

The output shaft is ?" and the 3-step flat belt pulley does not have a bushing. It has a set screw that seats on a flat cut into the shaft. Otherwise, the gearbox is pretty simple. It almost looks like you could reverse it as well. I might try that as the oil filler and brass speed label were always facing the back wall. This thing always leaked like crazy, so I am going to see about sealing things up better Suggestions on what type of gasket compound to try? Seems like transmission housing sealant or something equally oil-proof and removable would work.?

My entire office reeks of 90W now.?

Hey, it's better than shoveling.?
