anybody got a lot more miles on their Faerey?? How does that compare with a
trouble free life for the Toro and Santana, if anyone has gone more than
50-60 thousand on the Toro and Santana.
I had over 100,000 miles on my first Fairey overdrive before I broke it by
letting it run low on oil one too many times. Prior to this, it had functioned
perfectly (and very quietly), including several very rugged off-road trips
in Hawaii and to the Yukon and Northwest Territories. If I hadn't been lax
in checking the oil, I'm sure it would still be operating perfectly today.
The replacement Fairey is noisier (but only on the over-run), and has
perhaps 20,000 miles on so far.
