Hello All, I've just installed a HS kit from BGF. It has a 11t freewheel drive sprocket.

Don't these things need to be dismanteled and re-greased soon after being put into service? And re-serviced with some frequency to get reliable service?

I've got a similar but much heavier decice on my tractor pto, and directions for it is to grease it before each use(has zerk fitting)

I've heard of these things failing a lot. Could be from lack of servicing?

Could they be modified to take a zerk fitting?

Anyone have any experience with servicing these things that you would like to share?

Thanks, Wayne Z

Thanks, Wayne

It's not a regular freewheel . It is an 11 tooth #415 chain drive sprocket mounted on the engine's gearbox. I know there's grease in there because some of it is working out of it with use.
