[QUOTE="Local Knowledge, post: 629341, member: 4140"] Have a 35+ year-old trommel that is still in use (Central Vic). A quick question, the worm gear reducing unit has seen a lot of past work and there is a small oil leak at the bottom of the reducer casing (with no ratio ID/sizes etc now legible on the unit). Can the worm gear/seals/bearings still be repaired? It would be a shame to have to replace or discard an original (and Australian made) gear reducing unit.
