Hofmann Engineering upgrades planetary transmissions and swing transmissions for various models with redesigned components made of upgraded materials and using improved heat treatments to increase service life. The upgrades include precision gear grinding, second reduction sun pinion kits to reduce wear, redesigning swing shafts to prevent fatigue failures, and induction hardening or quench and tempering propel shafts to increase hardness and reduce fatigue risks. The upgraded transmissions are available as new replacements or service exchanges and are fully tested prior to shipment.
