Re: 3.73 GEARS

I purchased a set of "Timken" gears on the advice of a few gearhead machinest's at work, they thought very highly of the brand and quality, also at their advice, I had the gears sent out to be cryogenically (sp)frozen before installation.

Freezing the gears, was an additional $50 charge, so I went for it.
