I finally got the itch to have QC gears on my SB 9 and bought a gear box off eBay. It came from a Model A 9" and looks in pretty good shape except for the terrible black paint job. Gears look OK so far.
I know most of the things that have to be changed ( leadscrew, headstock some gearing another mounting hole in the bed) but I want to hear about the things that I may run into................ the things that I don't even know that I don't know about.
I would like to take the gearbox apart and clean and inspect it and see if any gears need to be changed.
What about it guys? Too big a job for a newbie?
Please let me hear from you.
