Could someone open the tray and see if this drive has a rubber band type belt obvious or just old school plastic gears. Thanks

There's a small rubber band at the left front. The rest of the area is plastic gears

Opening up the drive reveals two gears (one small and one a little bigger) that have a rubber band-type belt connecting them. There may be plastic gears further back, but what I can see right up front is a rubber band. Hope that helps

Yes it is, but the knob that you use to adjust the speed appears to be a high quality plastic piece. I had to really look at it to tell if it was plastic or metal.

I now own the Drive Medical #10273, which has the exact same pedals/handles as this model. Those two plastic parts have no ball bearings, not even any bushings; just a sloppy fitting through-hole to clear the 7/16" dia steel crank that they "spin" relative-to. Consequently the excessive play produces a click-clack noise.

sorry NO lugs need to purchase or use old ones with a socket with extended ratchet half inch drive

I do not know specifically. Just make sure that the diameter is the same or smaller and that the "drive slots" on the bottom of the tray are of the same pattern.

The paper that comes with the set calls it a Magnetic Drive Guide. There is a sleeve that slides up over the first "13/4 of the bit.

I used the system profiler to check mine. I believe you can right click and select get info to see the specifics of the drive as well

Like I have said before, these drives are not of recent manufacture... but they may very well have remained unused for several years.... The one I received was made around 2009, but it worked fine.... The warranty you have is only the possibility of returning it if you notice it doesnt work.....

It is direct drive, BUT there is a multi-v drive belt that is attached to a cooling fan. Motor is all black plastic

I had the gear box apart. The several gears are either nylon or metal. High speed shaft from motor is metal but the gear that meshes to it is nylon (plastic). This is common with cheaper grinders and not necessarily negative unless you are a commercial operator.

Funny timing on this question.. had my mower bout 9 months used probably 10 times.. thought gear box had gone south but was just adjustment..was looking at it 15 min ago. so i know the belt from the power shaft drives a gear box but cant confirm if steel or plastic gears.. my guess would be plastic tho as pretty sure gears inside wheels are plastic. But as a side note i do like the mower - plenty of power and lightweight easy to push around trees and such and cuts pretty well.. though if you buy be sure to check that the front axle is correctly positioned and fully locked by tabs near each wheel. mine wasn't but was easy to correct once i saw what was wrong. hope that helps..

The drive itself is exactly the same (tray loading). The difference is the included software bundle.

Rubber moulded to a plastic wheel with the metal drive gear attached to the wheel.

I believe it is belt driven. A gear drive is usually reserved for larger machines.

I purchased mine with drives and it had all the trays....so you shouldn't have to worry about that. Unless you are buying it used and someone removed the trays.
