Tera Manufacuring

mbrink · 07-07-2004, 08:14 PM

I wanted to put in a good word for Tera Manufacturing. I had one of the original 5 gear 4 to 1 gear sets (actually an upgraded 3 gear set) in my Scout D300 in my Scrambler. On Cadillac Hill about a month ago I broke the weld on the gear that drives the rear in 4 low. Driving up the rest of Cadillac was fun in 4WD high, but we got home.

Since I needed to get on the tral again quickly, I ordered and paid for a new set of gears. The new gears from Tera are much stronger then the verisons they originally put out 6 years ago. I sent the broken gear and the other 4 gears back to Tera with a letter explaining the details. Without further discussion, they quickly refunded me the full cost of the gears and shipping. These gears were 6 years old and they stood behind their product.

Thanks Tera.

makes me happy since I just got mine!

That's probably why their still in business. I've had mine in a Model 18. 3.15:1 TeraLows for 3 or 4 years, and mine see hard abuse on the street. All my power goes through my intermediate gear. Before TeraLow, I could take it out and replace and rebuild it in 4 hours. Haven't had any trouble with their's yet!!!!
Glad to hear they took care of you...

yes-tera stands behind their product. i had the early scout 300 3 gear 4:1 kit and it broke. they warranted the gears and shipped me the 5 gear no questions asked.

I broke the welded gear and they hooked me up no questions asked. They have always done me right.

I've been impresed with everything I have bought from tera. I can't say that about alot of other big companies put there. Props to them.

I am almost ready to put my new Terra gears into my dana 20 and got them at a great price from dc.

Does anybody have complaints about tera's 231 4:1?

sw99 · 04-12-2005, 09:20 PM

OK, so what is done differently now to the gears? Are they still welded instead of the way JB does them? That was why I was leaning towards the JB 4to1.

mbrink · 04-12-2005, 09:59 PM

The gears are still welded together. The big difference is the gears are now splined together, and the welds look much better. Have not broken my new set yet.....
