Boston Gear questions
My Boston Gear 700 series is grinding bronze into the oil — done for?
Bronze glitter means the worm wheel is wearing — normal at end-of-life. The steel worm usually survives; the wheel is the wear part by design. New wheel + bearings + seals is a standard rebuild, often same-week for common ratios. Call (641) 519-6270 for a free teardown quote — or sell us the unit as-is for cash.
