Default Bravo Gear pitting

If anyone has current bravo gears pitting and or fractures - if you want send the gears and other related pat failures to me. the reason is I have a person who wants to examine them. I do not have anything currently to show as failures and I even have a bravo drive town down at the moment. These gears look really good so far. Probably jinx that one soon.

I will send them back to you if you really want them back. I need these asap before Oct 19. No cost involved except shipping to me and if you want them back I will pay shipping back to you.

I do not want new gears or any new related parts just the failed parts especially the gear pitting ones. Let me know what you have. These will be looked at by a person who deals with gear failures from a lot fields - Auto, big trucking, racing, industrial, food grade and so on plus it will be for free. I can not pass that up and should be your thinking as well..

Want to bump this because I have to have this in my hands no later than Oct 18.

Anyone ??

As much of the posts up here about why and what to do and gear oil talk for the bravo's, many should be jumping all over this to have another set eyes and hands to look indepth at these failures.

I will have a 1.50 lower gear set with pitting we are replacing today if I get my customers approval to send them. I do have several sets of uppers that are without teeth.

Thanks let me know and I really want some gears with the pitting.

I have an Alpha to tear down next week that had a big block in the boat so hopefully I can have something on that end to.

I will need all gears and whatever parts that might have caused the related failure(s) shipped to TX and then I will be in Michigan with these parts. Again I need something no later in my hands by Oct 18.

THX

great because I want them to study the hell out of the gears and that mostly will mean keeping them on their end. I will PM soon thx for getting this rolling.

if none of your gears are pitted, I will still need them so can you please post info about the condition of yours. THANKS

My customer is picking up the drive today, it will be up to him if he wants the gears or not. I may have some other broke or pitted gears in the junk bin I could send also.
