Is stripped gears common?

I have never had gears strip on these. I have owned several over the years. The bucket goes first if not taken care of properly.

The motor is encased inside the base, so the gears are not visible. I would presume they are, but I don't know for sure.

As I recall, they are interchangeable. The drive gear screws to the inside of the wheel. Pull your rear and front wheel. I think you'll see they are identical...except for the drive gear on the resr

drive gears on the brushes. . .worm gears on the wheels. these are the parts that I have needed to replace when it make a plastic gear slipping sound and the brushes are reluctant to turn part # 59641022 worm gear on brushes ,59641050 is the left wheel right wheel is different. I usually order these parts from sears

Yes, I would agree, all the Shimano & SRAM internal geared hubs have all failed with motors - SRAM's do seam to be a lot tougher & last longer but eventually they breakdown as well.

Yes and if they are not all spinning then check to see if you are missing a axle, if you see all 4 axles check and make sure the gears in the rear are working, they may be stripped out or may need adjusting

I wouldn't recommend it. We've stripped out the gears on one unit by overloading it.

I suppose it is possible that some were made with plastic gears and some were metal. The one I got when ordered from Amazon has plastic gears. I havent found this to be a problem. No need to force the gears. When the resistance makes it hard to turn, I have found that that is a good indication that the batch is done. If you force it, the gears will probably break...so don't force it.

Hi, The inside of the wheel does have gear teeth in it and the wheel that I purchased had new wheel bearings in it. I suggest that you go to the manual to find the part number that you need to be sure that wheel is for your model. If you do not have the manual go to the Agrifab web site and look up the part numbers that you need. I also suggest that you disassemble the sweeper first because the wheel may not be the only problem. Not only was the gear stripped out on the wheel there were some other bushings that were worn out causing the sweeper not to function properly.

I am guessing this should work. I used this to replace the same one that was just 15 years old and the gears were starting to strip. It was an easy replace....and I am a 34 year old stay at home mom ;-)

We have not had that problem. When my son hit the ceiling too much the gears that turn the rotors stripped. That was the only problem we had.

If the transmission is severely worn, failed, it won't fix it. But if it's starting to go, or the fluid is dirty etc, this will clean and condition the gears and extend the life of it.

correct ,I got front kit for a easier install . guess im old too I,ve seen rear kits with and without the gears.

They should all be the same T8 wrench. Definitely worth a try. And I didn't experience any of the other issues mentioned by previous buyers either.

I also need help with the stripped pedal. It has fallen off. I need to get this fixed soon. I use the bike every day.

Thanks your a life saver.. worm gear follower was chewed up.. must not be hardened gears. The grease is liquifying so that probably doesnt help matters either. Only a few hours usage, though with stiff batter.Any recommendations on grease? I'm inclined to want to use automotive wheel bearing grease.

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.
