G'day fishman,

Just a quick heads-up, on a potential problem with the Foote 35 gearbox on your machine - the OEM grease in it, which is supposed to be 'semi-fluid', goes off and sets 'hard' over time. This results in excessive wear of some of the internal parts, which are no longer available as spares.

This older thread goes into detail on what to do; https://www.outdoorking-forum.com.au/forum/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/80134

And this one shows that these worn parts can be repaired, by a machining workshop: https://www.outdoorking-forum.com.au/forum/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/78852/

Cheers,
Gadge
