Need machinist's help in DFW area

Apr 20, 2006 5 Replies

One of my hobbies is restoring old (60s-70s) garden tractors. Some came with electric power lifts for implements. The weak link in those is the motor gear; a 32 pitch, 16 tooth spur gear with about a 5/8" face. Bore is 5'16".



I have a 3" piece of carbon steel gear stock I need parted and bored or bored and parted, whichever, to get as many gears as possible.

part# A 1C29-N32016 Low buck budget so I would like to beg, swap or trade for steak dinner, liquid refreshment or what-are-you-looking-for.



Can you help or point me to someone who can?

Before you make something, check the Boston Gear catalog. Doesn't sound too oddball that they might not stock it.

Everybody's got them with a 0.187 face. I need about 0.58.

Thanks anyway.

Is this heat-treated carbon steel? Test it with a file. If it's heat-treated, it may need to be sliced with a saw and then faced, trued and bored with carbide tooling.

Andy I'm in Keller, shop is in Azle. I have the machine tools but I'm light on expertise. I'd give it a go in exchange for getting my Loboy

154 running so I can sell it.
