...that I was watching an old Wheeler Dealers last night.
and Ant Asstead referred to the Crown wheel as a "ring gear", three times.:rolleyes:
Could he be right? Ring gear to me sits on the outside of the flywheel.:confused:
Thort he knew what he was doing and most of the time I think he does.:confused:
Bleddy Telly you never know what to believe.:(

Ive heard other peeps calling the crown wheel a ring gear or planet gear.
To me a ring gear is off a flywheel. :)

Never heard it called a ring gear, crown wheel is just that, planet gears are the other smaller ones, ring gear is on the flywheel ...

Yup we all agree..... that must be a first :D

Seems not;). Seems they get confused too.
