Haven't even worked in a machine shop since the late 70's, but when the good gears and chains came out the gear drives became just more leftover parts laying on a shelf in the parts room. I doubt anything has improved on gear drives other then there's a whole generation who now think the whine is kewl and harmful harmonics in an engine is just some geezer dream. For me, gear drives are a case of been there, done that, ain't goin' back. If you want your engine to whine like it has a blower then BUY A DANG BLOWER!!!!!!
