Bryan,Thanks for that. I am in the process of doing just that and I cannot see any differences. I also have a spare set from a K7 and can see from the outside that the output shaft has a larger diameter so the seal will be different and the case itself is wider in that area as if to house a bigger bearing. As far as using K6 cases in a K1 motor I don't think I have a problem.
Someone else may comment. Thanks, Pat
