What did you do with your reduction drive? How hard was it to remove?
Mine is cracked on the gear housing and I have it patched right now.
I'll have to remove mine soon.

I tossed it it was trashed. It was not bad. It was real heavy though! Be prepared.

Please check your engine mounts...when they move too much it makes that break you found.

Check this article about a crappy, new Trojan for comparison:

That it was. The mounts were loose. I filled the holes and I used longer lags.
