Re: A few questions about my Lot 4
If you can find some Mr Muscle oven cleaner it would make fast work of getting that gearbox sparkling clean. Oh wish I could work on it for you what fun. Also to lubricant. Once you have it sealed up

Re: A few questions about my Lot 4
One thing that would help on oil loss would be to use sealed bearings. Yours are probably open that and seat them in the case with a little silicone sealer. Don¡¯t use locktight. I would use silicone

Re: A few questions about my Lot 4
That's quite the gear reduction, the gears have very wide faces for only outputting through a 7/8" shaft! My brother and I just made new shafts and installed them in new bearings in a small project,

Re: A few questions about my Lot 4
With the way the bearings sit in the case, the gasket material would need to be a very specific thickness. I would put the 2 sides of the case together with no bearings and measure the diameter side

Re: A few questions about my Lot 4
Looked at the tag on the gear box again and have second thoughts.? The tag list one HP at 1800 rpm? 3/4 HP at 1200 rpm.? No listing for hp for the other two speeds.? So they are not spindle
