bkpigs Posted February 24 Posted February 24 What is the allowable backlash for the Bull gear and axle on a 1486? First I thought none, but then got to thinking about the Bull gear and pinion shaft having wide surfaces to keep the gear square on the axle. Thanks!! Quote
mrfred54 Posted February 24 Posted February 24 Don't know if there's a spec for that, but I would not be afraid to use it from the pics. 2 Quote
chadd Posted March 4 Posted March 4 There is no spec for the spline backlash. The splines on the shaft are crowned (the tooth thickness is thinned at the ends) intentionally to allow the gear to pivot a small amount on the shaft and align to the bull pinion to maintain full tooth contact under load when the shafts deflect. 2 Quote
