LEM 20# BIG BITE STUFFER MOTOR GEARS

[DD1]

Bouget a LEM Big Bite Stuffer a few years ago. Really like it. Use it once a year. Speed adjustment knob never really worked very well but acceptable (vs cranking). It jammed the other day, tripping breaker but the main 32 tooth spur gear has lost some teeth. Any one have any luck with replacement parts? LEM advised only solution was to buy a new motor for $250 (which isn’t currently available), and “the last batch of motors received was just returned again for speed adjustment knobs not working very well.”

LEM is also not willing to advise who the supplier of the motor is, so if anyone knows, that would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
