  • ~3 mils Powder Coat finish. The finish has a good hardness, excellent flexibility, excellent exterior stability, good chemical and solvent resistance, and a very good corrosion protection. All parts are powder coated before assembly. All fasteners are cadmium plated.
  • Drives are pre-assembled with the oil bath chain case fitted and removed for shipment.
  • Oil bath chain cases are split with two top inspection doors, one over each sprocket.
  • All liners use 1/2" welded studs attached to the exterior of the liner plates to eliminate wear points on the inside of the liners.
