Nice sketch you made there GB! I gotta ask, do the utility poles on your road still have all their braces?

For almost 50 years they have been burying the utilities underground in the islands. As the old stuff that's still topside needs upgrading, it ends up underground as well. We have far less outages now and yes, some old hardware finds it's way into my projects

As far as Expaver's transmission, I gotta say he's way smarter than me to figure all that out. I don't even like pulling the top covers off because it's so confusing in there. Not to mention that 1/4" dowel pin usually falls down into the gear box.....
