DN = New Dura-Drag™ Design with Lubricant
IMPORTANT CHANGE FOR OLDER 30S Drive Plate/Pinion
See the image below:
If you have the older parts as shown to the left of the photo and need to replace either the drive plate, drag washer or pinion gear, you will need to get both the newer 117DN drive plate (with drag built in) and the newer pinion gear. The older parts are not compatible with the newer ones.
Part number 117D-30 was manufactured with the original HT100™ dry drag washer material.
