So, anybody have a need for a 14 spline Poly-V drive and ring assembly? I guess I'm in almost $40 to "Reduce noise"
Along with that 'noise reduction' comes wear reduction. That noise is parts clanging against each other.
There is a 'lesson' here! Since the shopsmith has varied over the years, a lengthy, accurate conversation needs to take place between the buyer and customer service when ordering parts for an 'older' machine.
