Ouch !

Recommended Posts

My Unimog has a leaky hub and when I checked the oil level in the hub there were lots of little metal flakes meaning that the final drive gears have gone and need replacing. When I checked they were a grand for each side. That's a proper ouch. Needless to say its been parked up for a while. I did wonder if a specialist gear maker could custom make me some, got to be cheaper than Mercedes ones if it was possible.

Some general engineering shops have catalogues for gears. The might even know gear cutting companies, usually Birmingham area.
