BJ8 and other laygears; when the worn 1st gear is replaced is it heat treated for hardness like the originals were?
I've installed a new one piece reproduction from AHSpares (photo of the one with the spacer) 4 times (about 10 total miles on it) makes noise in 2nd gear. However there's been no wear to any of the gears, not even 1st.
I just installed a welded 1st gear unit. After about 1 mile, no signs of wear on 4,3,2. 1st shows wear, chipping. I've made sure to baby it when going into 1st and reverse. Haven't heard any grinding noise.
1st photo, AHS.
2nd AHS close up of 1st. (10 miles)
3rd welded next to AHS. (close up, dust shown on 1st gear sides, not damaged)
4th welded close up of 1st, (1 mile, chipping already.
