Hey, I did one like that a couple years ago. Actually worked well until the climate got to it. I used a modified Bob trailer with a Ryobi driving a PM motor to recharge it. I would be interested in seeing what you come up with.
Linnix, Last Month I Got A Kit missing Parts For 53 Bucks On Ebay Plus 19 S/d. It Looks Like The Same Gear Box With The Little Screw (plug) On Top Of The Case. Removed The Cover When I Received It, Looks Like Yours. Did Not Take It Off The Motor. Is There A Clutch On The Motor Also?? The Motor Is A Hs Titan. Been Waiting To See How Yours Stands Up. Back In The Late 70`s I Was Operating The Sky Scrapper "tower Cranes". Got An Extra Hours Pay Each Day For Greasing The Crane. They Said I Had To Crawl Out To The Tip Of The Boom (165 Feet Out Horizontally 150 Foot Above Ground) And Grease The Bearings. I Did Not Enjoy That Duty. The Iron Worker Foreman Got Me Some Grease In Tubes For The Grease Gun. It Said Good For Annual Greasing, Grease Once A Year. I Think It Said Something About Texas In The Name, Or Manufactured In Texas. I Fell In Love With That Sh*t Instantly!! Lol. The Superintendent Ok`d It. When They Took The Crane Down I Was Gone, Don`t Know What Condition The Bearing Was In. Ron
yes it would, and it would probably work just as good, but i like the satisfaction of doing it manualy and knowing each and every tooth has the exact same amount of grease on it. but thats just me. anyone else can give it a shot and let us know how it work?Here's a thought, why not drill and tap a few holes and put grease nipples on the gearcase, would save taking it apart to grease it each time...Pete
yep! thats the hoot i have, do the shimming thing i did a few pages back, it helps with the whine allotLinnix, Is The Crane Grease Staying On The Gears? Can You Post Info On The Grease, Manufacture, Item Number Etc. I Would Like To Get Some. Pics Of My Hoot, Think It Is The Same As Your. Glad You Started This Thread, Now I Will Use The Hoot. Ron .
keep us posted(link to another thread?) so we can see how well the kit holds up, maybe motorboys holds the golden hoot, please let us know how it all works out?wow that was fast shipping. at my door already
Linnix, Did Your 100 Mile Hoot With The Straight Cut Gears, Look The Same On The Exterior As Your Good, Current Tranny. Tomorrow Will Take Cover Off Mine And Check Gears. Ron
