On the B446 and B446 Mega-T, the trowel operates at 180 blade RPM under demanding finishing conditions, placing sustained load on the gear train, making the condition of this bronze gear central to reliable performance on the job site.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBronze is used in this application for its self-lubricating properties, wear resistance, and ability to protect harder mating components from damage. When a large bronze gear fails, typically presenting as grinding noise, inconsistent blade speed, or visible pitting and tooth loss, it should be replaced promptly to avoid damage to the mating steel gear or gearbox housing. Inspect the gear during routine drivetrain servicing and whenever the gearbox is opened for any reason.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a direct OEM replacement sourced from Bartell Global.
