I haven’t calculated this engine’s gear box Ted, but I suspect is around 20:1 …..I’ll verify when I open it up to add the cab light feature, etc. ….also, it came factory equipped with two honking flywheels on a large 60 mm Pittman, ……the gear box is divorced design, so it’s free to float around and mechanically tied to the motor (it’s got a slip joint ) ……if all the Williams & Weavers were like this, it’d be a different story,…..
