I had a similar problem. When I installed my umbrella washer it wasn’t centered and didn’t drop down into the recess properly, it allowed oil to leak and was running down all of my tower legs and was not noticed until it was too late.

What is it?

A local guy has an ad on c-list for an Aermotor B702. He also has a set of gears that I have never seen. Can anyone identify them?
