Hi,

Can anyone think of a good reason why I can't run the leaf stack upsidedown? Is the motor full of oil that won't like being in the other half of the motor housing!??

Not the motor but the reducer box. Yes it's filled with oil, and there's even a breather vent at the top of the box, which vents to the small space between the motor and reducer box. To run it upside down you'd have to block that breather, install a new one somewhere else, figure out how to get oil everywhere it needs to go, and figure out a new way to fill and drain the oil.

Thanks for the reply. Ok, I will scrap that idea!
