Looks good. Is it the same thread as the Servonaut screw drives?

Thanks Dennis, it's quite fast compared to the previous rod I had in there and the LESU screw drive in the dump trailer this pulls. Check the links at the bottom of this post for what I used.

Thanks for the offer Jack, one of these days I'm going to try and get back to Canada again! Check the links at the bottom of this post for what I used.

Will this area be sealed up against dirt and exposure?

No and it's the 3rd screw drive in it, changing only for better performance. Haven't had any issues with normal maintenance. You can't seal the area and have it work correctly. Stay tuned for a new video, hopefully this weekend.

Thanks egrovold, I'm not familiar with servonauts screw drive, I've made the last 2 from scratch, the links below will show the stats on what I used, the rest of the parts were hand made.
