the problem with parts mules is that you really dont know if the unit you get doesnt have the same problem and if it doesnt how long the part will last

test his gear hobber - 8640B for $1
I'm sure that if someone actually does the work and offers a full set of
good-quality 8640 gears for $50 or less, the customers will be there. At
least one, anyway! (raises hand) At $100 or more you are competing with
parts-mule prices, so it doesn't make as much sense to create new gears if
that's what it would cost.
This is precisely the problem with Chuck's proposal. If one *has* the
parts mule generator, then one has the gears needed. Natural priority
is to repair your generator first and worry about finding the off-the-shelf
equavilents later.
Tis fine with me. One day, you will want some gears,
and there won't be any more parts mules available.
I prefer to plan for the future, rather than eat the
seed.
But then I don't have a dog in this race. I was just
trying to be nice.
