Keep spare parts around, thats the way to keep from having long breakdown periods. Also learn to do the work yourself will save you lots of money, good luck.

I plan on doing the work myself. At this point it seems like it would be best to go with the newer style gears and go from there. Is there any place that's cheaper than the other to get the gears etc... that I'm going to need?

Thanks for the help guys, the responses have been more valuable than you know!

John,
I was referring to the X gears that are supplied in the upgrade kits. They all have the smaller input shaft sized pinion gear. The B1 X drive, OW and up would actually be using the old XZ gears.
But you are correct, I just refer to the new style thick floor'd gears as X gears. But time flies, I guess they aren't very new anymore.

tylogan11, thanks! I try..
