Post by PTModIT »

Hi, I posted in the WTB section for these parts,But were these off the shelf parts that a company stocked. Or were they made special for the 1/4 scale application.Did Skellenger make them or did Raco.Thanks.

they were originally off the shelf parts. They came from the Green machine roto tiller. Skellenger used to machine them down for their own application. After a while, they had the mfg of the gears for green machine start making them to their specs.

No they are not. That is why i had to have some made for the skellenger project i was working on. Minimum was 100 sets and it was BIG money. Tried to sell them at cost to the community but only sold 11 sets...
