Hey, Great, Something I can actually answer.
If MSD is Melonizing the gear properly (and they are) it would be the propoer gear.
I work at a company that builds machines and uses these processes in the build of them.
Melonizing is the cheapest and easiest method of surface hardening a batch of small complicated parts.
It can provide a hardness of ~52Rc (on 1045 steel) and can be used on finished machined parts without changing the geometry.
The nitrogen and carbon fit within the structure of the existing material lattice.
It also increases lubricity as it leaves many microscopic holes that will hold oil and decrease the surface ares at the gear interface.
Again, it is the cheapest way to get a complicated part hardened after machining. Think gun parts as I believe it is used there also.

The technical name is ferritic nitrocarburizing

 

Good info Noobie, thank you!

I would go pull the dizzy out of the motor to look at it, but the motor is all bagged up until the snow goes away. I only have these two pics of the dizzy and cam.

 

Somebody posted this pic in a FB community... am I the only one that sees something peculiar?

 

lol everyone thinks they are a pro DIYer after watching too much HGTV. Im hoping its just one of those joke stickers people use to prank others in public... but if not id like to see how they ran the wires lol

 

Same here... a normal box would be hanging out the other side, LOL. I hope it's a fake, but the guy claims it is an operable outlet in the comments, LOL.

 

If the guy claims it's operable did he also say for what? It might be good for some dorm beer game?

 

Not saying anyone should but, you can get the box to mount it in the door.
How one get the romex to not fatigue at the hinge is another issue.

 

Alright... he just came clean.


Noobie.... I just those for some RJ-45 jacks that I installed in my basement. they turned out pretty good.

 

Well, Now some of these will be going up in every new persons office around me.

edit, They have been bought, just looking for victims now, thinking conference room.

 

May I ask for a moment of silence? This WAS our track. They have begun tearing it down. It had a full 1/4 mile track, 3/8 mile oval and figure 8. And this is what is left. RIP, dear friend.
