Can anyone tell me thegear motor shaft diameter? And does it look like the gear could be removed? I'm using this item for something for else.

im not postive without looking at the old one but we are snowed in and dont feel like getting in the snow to see , but the gear was put on at the factory so one way or another it can be removed

Unfortunately both of them are in the trunk of my Lincoln about ten miles from here. As I recall when I was repairing the old motor, the "guard" or casing surrounding the gear was a single piece part of the motor case. I will plow out of our snow and brave the minus twelve on Thursday to go have a look. My first response is, no, but I can have an answer in a couple of days. Shaft is about 5/16's I think, but again, will measure.

Ok Michael: shaft OD is .310 (approx. 5/16") Gear has raised square drive cast into back and held in place by outside snap ring groove in shaft. I have a nice close up photo here for you but this site won't take an attachment. I bought a bunch of these units as such a widespread of years fit my Ford cars and trucks and these drives exceed OEM power, quiet, and moisture proofing. If you want the photo, contact Amazon to enable it somehow through their system.

Hi, It is 6mm. Hope this helps. In general, I am disappointed be the lack of a dimensional description for these little motors. They should give shaft diameter, length, flange mounting screw thread, and bolt circle, body length and diameter. All this information would help. Jim

I think you might have to buy the motor before you do check eBay sometimes I think they may sell the gears I am not sure.

Hi Glenn, We are very happy with our Grass gator. We have a Craftsman 4 cycle 32cc straight shaft. According to the info on the package "it fits 99% of straight or curved shaft weed eaters". I wish I could give you a definitive answer. Maybe if you contacted the customer service for the Grass gator. I would go ahead and try The Grass Gator and since it is sold at WalMart you can take it back if it doesn't work for you. I relly wish I could be of more help to you. I can tell you that if it fits properly it does a great job. Ann

The shaft size is what is the factor, 7/8 or 3/4 . Mine was 5/8. Can't get a replacement for that size.

like Brian said---I'm not sure exactly what you want to know? Are you asking whether any part of the engine extends beyond the plane of the mounting flange in a vertical direction? Are you concerned with the 'width' or the 'length' of the motor in relation to the size of the mounting flange? Can you give us more detail about your area of concern? What I can tell you is that the mounting flange itself is a little larger than the flange on the motor that it replaced---so I had to construct an adaptor plate to accomplish the installation.

i read a post saying simply turn the broken gear 180 degrees and reinstall. my wife broke the handle on mine , (she could break a cannon ball). i've had no luck finding a parts supplier, (just ordered another machine). i will say the "powermatic 1 manual" is the best tube loader money can buy.

The drive gear on the motor is metal, and the reduction and transfer gears are plastic. If the grinder in stressed or if something gets caught in the auger (like a bone), the drive gear can strip the plastic reduction gear. Waring claims this is not serviceable by the owner, but it is. The part is a Kenwood KW650740 and you can get two for $8 on aliexpress.com. You also need a set of "safety" (hollow core) torx bit (T27 size?) to take off the base, and a regular T30 torx to get the motor out.

Theere are two different shaft sizes that I know of. One is for the 5/8 inch diameter shaft and it is slightly larger than the .625 shaft diameter shaft. The other is for the 3/4 shaft on the motor and it again slightly larger than the shaft to slide over the .750 inch motor shaft. The od is imaterial but one is 1.215, the other is 1.350 inch.

This is a plain 1:1 (straight) ratio motor. There is no gear reduction as the add suggests. this is a good 6.5 hp horizontal shaft motor if that is what you need. The 6:1 gear reduction unit bolts on the side, and is included on the Lifan LF168F-2HBQ (Must have the "H" in the #). That motor is usually used where you need slower speed and more torque (cement mixers, rollers, etc). Hope that helps, I can not tell you about your specific app.

IF your motor quit working, then this motor only fits the newer gearbox. I purchased the motor and it would not fit the older gearbox( I have a 95 Cobra). If the motor runs, and the gearbox wont work- simple fix- open gearbox and put 1/4" nuts (3) where plastic balls go. To fit the new gearbox to your steps might need some spacers to line up properly- sure cheaper than new steps or a trip to the repair shop-.

I don't actually know. Since the shaft is NOT made to be easy to re-assemble and I don't have the equipment to mic the diameter my best guess is 1/4 to 1/2 an inch in diameter? I would depend on someone else perhaps call the distributor?) for the exact diameter (and ideas of how to replace these). I would try to remove one to see if you have the skill and tools and softer replacement pricing seems rational? Mine is now on a garage slab where it " can't do any harm" after spending a winter on the carpet without a problem.

The actual metal shaft is 6", and is just shy of 8" to the very top that attaches to the motor!! I love mine. Use it almost daily!!

Take a look at the stock. The measurement for the shafts are on the description. Measure yours and see.

Unable to provide an answer because I do not understand what the questioner is talking about. What 'shaft" is being attached to what on the front? Please provide clarification.

On the model I have the shaft is 7". There are models with longer shafts available although I have not found that a longer shaft is needed.
