Query: Gearbox is garbage

The whole machine is well enough built except for the most important part... the gearbox. Mine is plastic. I'm not sure if they have changed the design at all (it looks like it might be different in the picture), but the gearbox in the one i bought a few years ago is all plastic. It very quickly wears out if you put even 60 lbs worth of stuff in the hopper, never mind 125 lbs. Then you are left with a piece of junk that doesn't work very well because the axle is no longer straight. It also is not made to be serviced at all. No screws or anything. Just throw it out and buy a new one when it stops working after a couple seasons. I'm looking for an alternative with a properly designed gearbox.
