Well we just finished putting the medium turbine assembly back together on the cleaner and now we are going to have it take shape just a little bit more. Alright you can see here we've got he gears on. Now we want to put this piece here. This is called the well, the cone gear bushing. Now the cone gear bushing, well it allows the cone gear bushing to slid on it without to much friction. You going to see a little nib right in there and that's actually go into this little keyed part there. It's just a compression fitting so all we are going to do is just push it down. Your going to see it's nice and tight. From there this is the cone gear the kind of cone is the part you see sticking up and this is how it actually turns. The clean, this actually stays constant while the entire cleaner turns beneath it. Again that's the installation well actually you want to make sure that it sits into to the tooth of the gear. And that's how it kind of works. We tested it to make sure, ah yes it's moving around but in reality what happens is this gear stays constant and the cleaner turns around it. Now obliviously, the other thing is that both these gears they just come off with pressure, or they are just gravity fed. So were going to put this back in place over here and now were bring in friend and were going to invert it. Place it aside. Take this in our hand now this is the front is slopes down the hole is in the back there for the screen to go in. Ok and were going to sort of hold it like this, hold this up and down and I'm going to march these little holes here with a little receptacles right in here. Ok, so here we go. Now this I'm going to get right down and personal because you have got to get up and see it. Ah yes there it is. Now once it's in I' am going to over and give you a little sneak peek and were going to set in these four screws. One, tricky little buggers I tell you. Two. Three and the very last one. Four. All set home spinning freely look haw happy she is.
