PC: RE: Stewart drive train noise

["Armstrong, John A" <ArmstronJA@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have three and the second unit acted just a bit jerky when it started from a stop.  After a long break in period it seem to go away and and I would now say that it runs fine.  I understand that Stewart will send drive replacement parts that will correct this problem.  I didn't purse the "fix" because mine seemed to correct itself.

My newest unit is the best running unit I have ever purchased.
