If the spec tag is missing, below is the information we will need to provide a quote for a replacement unit.
Below you can find the needed information, along with individual links to videos that show you how to measure the various SAE measurements that were discussed.

- Engine HP
- Engine RPM
- What is the application?
- How many hours/day will the unit be in use?
- Required ratio (if unsure, provide the tooth counts of the input & output gears)
