Ted, there’s nothing wrong with the simple worm on worm wheel set up .....be it 16:1 or 20:1 ....Cruise is here to stay, and 99.9% of us are glad about it....buddy, you’re in a minority of minorities....and unfortunately, out of the box, that CC Niagara is the worst engineered pile of poo to ever roam the rails!...you can’t buy one without first having to rip it all to pieces and rebuild the driveline!...and taking it apart...( I’m sure even Alex will attest to this) step1: call all your friends and tell them you’ll be busy for a long, long time.....you got to gut a toolbox to fix that thing....once rebuilt, it’s a good runner....but good golly, don’t use that abomination as an example.....

Ha! I replaced the gears in a CC Niagara. I got a lot of help taking it apart

And I had to put it back together alone. It took me around 8 hours...maybe a half hour or so trying to make sure where all the screws went. I bought a set of brass gears for the shelf in case I ever was unfortunate enough to see another one.
