Any news? I was really enjoying this project, hope it's still alive. Once you get it figured out, I'll take a utility version for the cottage please

I agree, I sure hope it's still a work in progress! :thumbsup:

don't worry, she's still a work in progress.... I'm just searching for some cheep 90' gearboxes. the new ones online are 150each, plus 180 shipping to Canada.....which is a lot for me (and my wife mainly ) trying to find some used ones, not doing so well.....

I was thinking about your project yesterday when I was a GBS bearings picking up stuff for my own project. They had exactly what you're looking for sitting on the counter. I didn't ask about price and I don't know how much shipping would be, but at least there wouldn't be any duties or nasty broker fees. Worth calling them to find out, they had at least 3 sizes on display including a large cut away model that looked like it could have handled a couple hundred hp.
