Yeah, but for another $90 you could buy a new one race prepped with the steel gears from EC! And, I'm sure George could ship it cheaper than the $41 it's showing me there!!
I picked up 2 used 700-078s on E-Bay recently for $65 apiece w/shipping, all steel gears. One needs shift forks, the other needs the input shaft bearing. Both of which are much cheaper than the steel gear set to make a 700 race worthy. And, both were off walk behind mowers so they probably didn't see a whole lot of abuse. Not to mention I picked up 3 700s recently for less than $30 each w/shipping, that'll contribute those parts... And, others!!
For less than $225, I got 5 of them!! You just got to watch E-Bay faithfully!
