The gear on the Union uses a bevel gear like this, but it has a band to lock it for reverse instead of the double clutch arrangement this one uses. I can't say it's quiet, even with no load you wouldn't need a backup alarm. One advantage is it is one to one in reverse. |

Overhauled a Union box once as old one was damaged through wear + corrosion. Fitted new stock bevel gears to hubs and result was good. Straight cut gears will never be quiet and the technology is nowhere near what you see inside a modern gearbox or car diff.

Here's the Union gear, bevel gears and a band for reverse, forward is an internal brake shoe. Andrew, took a quick look at the site you linked, thanks, saw the 1907 Union catalog. The 8HP is the closest to mine I've seen. I have a 1905 catalog that had a different carb and throttle. The 07 catalog says Oakland, my tag says San Francisco, the factory burnt in the 06 earthquake, they moved to Oakland, guessing my engine is an 06.
