Tire Drive Gear

Chas,

This is exactly where the gear is stripped.  The teeth were worn.  I think your suggestion is correct and I dont remember there being washers, so I will take the wheels off on Sunday and check.  I'll take some photos and post back early next week.  Thanks Chas!

Ok, So I finally had time to work on it yesterday and yup, no washers.  Also, Chas - you were right on the seperation of the plate and alloy wheel.  Wow, very impressed with your understanding of these vehicles!

I was going to head down to the hardware store in search of more washers, but looking through my "widgets" box, I found a open bearing that may be a good fit.  I installed the bearing and lubed it with marine grease and all seems good.  Tire spins fine with no wobble.  Not sure if this is a possible long-term solution or if I should install washers as originally intended.

Hi there Adam sounds like you have it running ok ...
But if you want a couple of washers let me know and I will send some all the best Chas
