In the early DC sales literature it talks about the ability of transmission gears and sprokets to be 'flip-floped' to give them a "New surface after years of running". Well, its been better that 50 years, and I have a "howler" so, I think its time. Has anyone actually done this and how does it work out? Should I put in new chain?

Usually gears get quieter as they wear into conformity with each other. Noise could be caused by loose bearings, broken teeth, etc. Gears should be replaced in pairs, because the wear patterns would have to be re-established again. If you mix them up, be sure there is enough chamfer on the tips of the teeth that they don't touch the "wear steps" on the old mating gear. This will make a bad noise. In gears, a noise means inaccuracy and it means stress. If you are getting tip interference, you might have localized scoring (welding) because the lube can't take it in such a concentrated contact.

The noise in sprockets is hard to eliminate. (They invented silent chain) A worn chain (stretched) would probably cause noise as it first wraps onto a sprocket. The tooth shape of a sprocket will allow a worn chain to ride higher on the teeth, thus matching the chordal distance to the link length. You could possibly have your chains adjusted too tight.

Hardly an answer to your question Ted, but do you have your tractors over in Cambodia? Thanks, Glenn F.

Parts Glenn, just parts, but I go back home on Thursday (for a whopping 4 days) and then I'll get to play with them (4 DC's, a VAC-13, and a 400B) I plan to put them all on a 40' container and bring them back with me one day. It'll keep me out of the bars. You know, not a real good place for a missionary to hang out - well on second thought maybe it is? :>)

A Methodist joke (I'm Methodist) - Have you noticed that your Catholic neighbors always say hello and visit when you run into them at the local liquor store but the Methodists barely speak???

Hey, Tom. That's offensive to us Baptists. Actually, the best beer drinking session I ever was on was with 4 or 5 Baptist ministers.

Great Jokes! I grew up a Methodist. Hey DCTom I almost became DCTed but next to your knowledge on the subject I decided I'd look like the 'villiage idiot'. Now, one of you jokesters answer my question :>), I'm going home tomorrow, got a Dc in parts and wonder if it is reasonable to flip the gears??

Hey Camboted: The gears that are not fixed & slide can be swapped. One cluster on there is fixed fast. I've never heard of any of this, but why not?

I have an ITC shop manual that says the main bull gear can be turned around and run the other direction to quiet things down. That is the only gear they talk about doing this with. I don't know what you are supposed to do with the drive gear.
