Re: [papercreters] PTO Gear Box Recommendation


Nori,

My welder/machinist friend just had some blank Delrin sheets and we just machined a high tolerance hold out of a square piece, and then "captured" that piece so it wouldn't spin with the shaft.  I'd check with www.mscdirect.com or Google it...  Teflon would probably do equally well.

lower portion of the keyway with bondo and fit an additional seal over that
