Hate to break it to ya but, that is not a Z-Drive, it's a parallel drive!, on a Z-Drive, the bottom shaft is on the opposite side, hence, Z-Drive!!.....

The gears and shafts are reversable ...notice the blocking plates on the back side?
If it were a parallel drive ....dont you think there would be an input shaft?

JBB: Did that come out of your jet boat? I have heard they use them in very fast jets. Gets the engine RPM's to the moon. wink

Ok, it's reversible, I slipped but either shaft can be the input shaft depending on the application!, shaft's come splined or key'd!!..... :p :p

Any rpm you wish......lol
I need all the help I can when I come out there to run with the Okies
My jet is an American Turbine
The box is Casale
After talking with Casale about it and realizing all the re rigging it would entail (and how busy/Lazy I am) I scrapped the Idea!!!
