Need gears for K&T mill

These guys are worth a try, but make sure you're sitting down when they tell you the price.

Why don't you measure the gears and see if they are stock items? Most machine manufacturers used standard parts wherever they could, at least in my experience. Might be cheaper getting them from a gear distributor than from Kearney & Trecker.

Its going to be cheaper to :

a. buy another machine b. have the gears made c. scrap out the machine

Ive had to condem 3 KT #2s in the last year or so, because the lube pump gears swollowed its ass. I actually saved one, by installing an outboard pump that pulls lube oil out of a hole drilled in the casting, and recerculated.

If you need a couple #2s, I can get em for you for less than scrap value (So. California)

I replaced the other two machines with KT #2s, which Ive been able to buy for $350 and $400 respectivly
