The Valley Value

Extra-large intermediate gear bearings	Assure longer life.
25° tooth angles	Provides 40% greater load capacity and wear resistance than other manufacturers’ 14 1/2º tooth angles.
Built-in crop guard over U-joint	Prevents crop wrapping in or near oil seals.
Double reduction gearing	Requires fewer gears, shafts, and bearings for greater reliability and efficiency.
Stator	Can be replaced independent of rotor, and is held in place with corrosion-resistant, stainless steel bolts for easy maintenance.
Valley exclusive coating	Applied to internal surfaces to prevent corrosion.
Watertight seal	Between housing components.
Finned aluminum housing	For cool-running efficiency. Operates at temperatures 20° F (11° C) lower than comparable motors with steel housing because the Valley aluminum housing and fins dissipate heat more effectively. This doubles insulation life and increases motor life.
Case-hardened steel helical gears	More teeth meshed at all times for smoother power transmission.
Drain plug	Easily accessible, extra large.
