Bought mine about two years ago. After sitting for the past six months, I find it’s binding in the truck under the tender, acting as if some piece of crud got stuck in the gears. If some crud did get in there, it’s long gone; the binding is still happening and it looks as if one of the bevel gears has a chipped tooth.
So, not much mystery there: replace the bevel gears. The question I have is whether anyone has used the NWSL regearing kit (2802-6) for the 2-truck climax on this beastie. It’ll take two sets at $40 each to do a complete refit, so $80 to get this thing going.
Worth it? Opinions?
