Replacing 5lb vertical stuffer gears with metal ones
Posted: Mon Feb 11, 2013 9:36 pm
We have a Northern Tool 5lb vertical stuffer, type 604005e. Two of the small cog teeth, made of plastic, are damaged (being helped by son winding enthusiastically).
Quote (inc delivery) was £40 ish for replacement. New completer machine is on offer at the moment for £ 78.
I would prefer to get metal replacements for the gears.

They are for for their 5lb vertical stuffer, model #606, which looks identical to the Northern Tool one.
Are these available nearer the UK?

.....The LEM 5 lb. stuffer has metal gears and the Grizzly can be retrofitted with gears from LEM if the Grizzly gears ever break. That's my plan of attack!
Here's a link to LEM for the gears.... http://www.lemproducts.com/product/1470 .....
