1- Kenta Gearmotors  and  2- Elco Gearmotors

Before placing order for Kenta or Elco gear motor parts, one must have correct model of the machine and accurate description  of gears. The gears must be identified  by their location (1st, 2nd 3rd or fourth), by their manufacturer (Kenta or Elco) and by the make of the machine they are used in.
