@skippyelwell - send me the gear dimensions- width, thicknesses, etc. all the dimensions you can muster.

You asked about the belt- it is B30 (5L330) You can purchase on Amazon or Canadian Tire etc.

Ok, well, I have made one before as well as the whole low range/drive shaft. That gear is: Is #6 and is a double gear. I think I have the drawings for it. I will check and post. I remade one out of 4140. It is not a wearing gear but must have taken a big hit …. Ok I don’t have the gear...

@TorontoBuilder - even your car jack would work - like in the trunk. Just to lift up the slab to get slings in. Maybe some blocking 2x 4, 6’s.

Do you have any jacks? Like bottle or screw that you can use to lift the slab up and then sling? Even a car jack or scissor jack could lift things
