Plastic,check your shaft play from side 2 side on starter if it has lose motion u may want to just replace the starter.

All current models have a plastic gear. The issue is with the poorly made white shaft. Overtime this deforms and causes the gear to not retract. You need the gear to give otherwise it would stay engaged with the throw wheel and damage the engine. To replace this, your going to have to build your won tool. Hope this makes sense to you. If you inspect your old starter you will see the warp in the shaft that keeps the gear from smoothly retracting. The shaft that I am referring to is the white plastic shaft that the gear travels on.

One would think for the price of this, it would all be metal. Unlike what someone else said, the gears/wheels are not metal; they are plastic with a rubber belt turning it. The item the hose winds around is metal. The item which slides back and forth to apply the hose evenly across the reel is plastic too; but, it does slide on the metal frame. The biggie for me is the "handle is metal"; this is the part I have always had rip off when I had plastic handles on previous junk. Thus far, this item is working very smoothly.

The gears are plastic. There should be no issue with corrosion. The only metal part is the axle, which passes through the gearbox to turn it.

Based on the price, and description lacking info on metal tracks I would guess they are plastic. I installed metal tracks and a metal gear box on mine but it is cheaper if you can find one with those options already installed.

You can buy metal gears separately for $10. We had one with the regular hard (plastic?) gears they come with, lasted a few years

Wondering the same thing? Does it still have the cheap plastic gear that breaks or has it been updated?

It's plastic but if you want metal the more expensive BDR-XU03 is magnesium and even slimmer.

I am pretty sure it is plastic. They do look like metal and had to take it apart to really tell.

It has very durable steel gears and blades, there is hardly any plastic in this machine. It is VERY powerful and plastic would not hold up to the HP it puts out!!

The gears are solid brass, this is a really lovely pan, works perfectly and cleans up great.

Everything appears to be metal. I was cautious about plastic units breaking, which is why I went with this one. So far, it has held up really well, and is very sturdy (and heavy). I could probably use it as a weapon in a pinch. :)

Not sure which gears you are talking about. Part of this is plastic, and most of it is stainless steel. The wheel that tightens the parts that get attached, is plastic. It works very well, whatever the parts are made of.

Hi Ray, the gears on my machine are made of metal. In fact the entire machine is metal except for the roller on the handle.Hope this helps...Jim

In this case, armor is 85% Metal and 15% Plastic, all helmets are made of plastic and the connections of the shoulders, belt and chest are plastic. Other saints have more plastic but this one doesn't. A great figure imo.

It is mostly plastic. I wasn't very impressed. The only metal part was the dump bed. My grandson still loves it though and I guess that is all that matters.
