Im trying the newer style TCL on my 16. Mine was cracked, see picture.
It’s a pretty easy fix. You do have to pull the jack shaft. Easier if you have a belt drive. The primary can be a pain to get off. The bearing housing, behind the secondary, needs to be changed. I don’t have a press, so used a heat gun on the housing and tap it off. Then heated the new housing and tapped it on. A bench vise is helpful.
The newer TCL is lighter. Hopefully it holds up . A list of parts are pictured. All the bolts are different and come with loc-tight.
Not sure when I’ll get some miles on the sled, it’s my backup sled. But will keep everyone updated if there is an issue.
