CHRISTIE ACTION PHOTO: Christie is machining the first of three new pinion gear shafts. The originals were 4.500 inch diameter, but this one is to be 4.550 inch diameter. The size increase, less than 1/16 inch, is to compensate for the larger than standard hole in our gears. All of our gears require boring to correct tapered and egg-shaped holes.
