Yes it is the max machine worx tail. Polished. They don't sell the satin one anymore. I put in on for the beginning of the season and broke the drive. I got a whole new drive and I'm not gonna install it on the new one.

sorry to hear that Gary. You think the tail had something to do with it? I would think the tail eases stress on the drive since they’re not dragging as long under heavy load and not working as hard.

Did you break the casing or the gears?
