Greetings everybody,
First post from a newbie to the forum. My "super dad" Christmas present lasted for about an hour before problems arose. I've spent about three days searching the forums as well as looking around with the help of Google and have so far come up empty. I believe I have a Carter machine. Comet TC pushed by a new Predator 6.5 horse, jack shaft down to a comet SCD-1 differential. Kart quit about 1000 feet down the gravel drive. Opened up the diff and spider gear was shattered. I say gear singular as there was only one in the diff. Purchased used where the previous owner "rebuilt" everything. I imagine when he took it apart the other gear was busted already so he just lubed it and used what he had. Having recovered the spider gear pieces I think I could find a machine shop to fabricate a handful of them for me for the future. What I would like to find is a measured drawing of the SCD-1 with all relevant dimensions, angles, etc. If the shop has a CNC machine they can program it correctly and if they don't then the machinist doesn't have to just do the best he can with the pieces I bring in. If you have anything that you might forward along or could point me in a direction to find the information myself I would be grateful. I would like to exhaust my options on repairing it before throwing in the towel and going to a live axle. Depending on the price I may get exhausted quickly
Thanks in advance,
Eric
