3293 forum posts 112 photos | Are these change-wheels or internal ones? For the former, try a second-hand dealer like Home & Workshop Machinery. Alternatively, if you know the pressure-angle, a transmission-parts stockist like HPC, Bearing Boys, etc. . These firms sell stock gears that need their pilot bores and perhaps other details machining to suit the application; though now of course some might only stock metric-size wheels. Also most gears now are of 20º PA: they will mesh with 14º 30' wheels but not properly, in time harming both. |

If you can quote the DP (Assumed to be DP being a British machine) and other dimensions, Thicknessm bire etc ) it might be possible to find ones for another machine that could fit, or be modified by machining, (Thinning, opening up/ boring and bushing ) to suit your machine. What is some one else's surplus material might be your raw material for the gears that you require! Howard |
