the rotation. Anyone got a source for Jackson Drives?

How about the details on how you repack and adjust them?
Are you talking about the common Type 4511 ones? Bending
those steel tabs on the rear up and back down didn't seem
a job for the typical workbench.

I have a number of type 4511DAF's for sale except the front
shaft is about 3/4" long instead of the 29.4 mm of the
factory drawing.   $ 7.50 ea + postage

Also have a couple of the "Adjustable Torque Ball Drive"
<http://www.mainlinegroup.co.uk/jacksonbrothers/5620.html>
$15.00 each + postage  The shaft, again is about 3/4" long,
and body seems like alumimum rather than nickel plated brass
as data sheet shows.
