Description
Overview:
This Shim for Marles 562 Gearbox is a precision-made steel ring used to set and maintain correct gear spacing in the Marles 562 unit. Supplied as a single piece (MPN 273010), it helps control end float and backlash so the gearbox runs smoothly and quietly under load. The shim sits between mating components to fine-tune alignment, helping to protect gears and bearings from uneven wear. Suitable for use in construction, agricultural, and garden machinery that use the Marles 562 Gearbox, it is intended for routine servicing and rebuilds where accurate set-up is essential. Sold individually so you can replace only what you need, it supports reliable operation and extends service life when installed as part of a properly measured adjustment stack.
