Look closer, There is some milling on the case where the pinion protrudes. I took about .015" off on one side and .010" other to get the pinion depth set. The brass bushing where the axle leaves the case; I can face some off there also. Both gear sets are not exactly the same and I had more trouble setting up the second set of gears. If this design works out, I do want to add ball bearings on the pinions and axles. But they turn pretty freely right now.
The motors, as I posted earlier, Have to be small gear motors and have ample torque to pull the load and fit into the narrow space under the frame.
