bigguy Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 can anyone give me any ideas on who to contact to have new gears cutfor my Jackson ?. everyone i have talked to around mid michigan has said they dont have the tooling to cut the gears so the tools would first have to be made and then the gears cut for an extremely expensive price. any suggestions are greatly appreciated, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Binger Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Try Gear Headquarters Inc. 3012 South 24th Street Kansas City, Kansas 66106They made a couple of gears for my 1910 Overland transmision last winter and they work great. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Wolf Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Have looks for some used ones. Most Transmission of the day werethe same inside. I needed a 2nd gear for a 1916 Elgin.I found a transmission for a 1918 Dort the outside case was different but the gears were the same. I ended up putting the whole gear set in my old case.I ended up selling the cluster gear to a guy who need one for some other teens independent I cant remember the name of and it fit. So find out who made the transmission find out who else they made transmissions for and commit the looks of the gears to memory and start looking. You would be surprised at was parts I modified and put in my Elgin to keep it running. I never found anybody at Hershey who said they had parts for an Elginbut I bought a lot of parts that fit and Elgin at Hershey.One other point if you have to have them made, "Do not Tell them it goes to a car? Tell them it goes to an old mill or something. When I was looking for a place to make a timing gear I only found 2 place capable of making the gear at over $1500 for the first one $200 for each after but neither place's insurance would allow them to make parts for planes, cars, motorcycles or trains.

1937hd45 Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Boston Gear would be the first place I'd ask 125 years in the business. http://www.ohiobelting.com/bosgear.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A. Woolf Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Try REMPCO. We met the owner at Hershey a couple of years ago and he is an old car guy. He cut a steering sector gear for our Stanley to our drawings and did a great job. The price was reasonable and he turned it out quickly.
