I have never heard of any Kline model having this issue. Not the Berks, mikados K4, or the Hudsons. All had the same setup with the forward facing motor/gearbox
Correct, the original Kline’s do not have the compound gear box found on their Legacy remakes of the KLine tooling …..KLine had only an axle gear, and a worm on the motor shaft ….here’s a stock KLine B&M chassis,….note single gear…
