Gearboxes for Water Well Drilling Rigs

Cotta manufactures a transfer case and top mast drive for a customer that uses the gearboxes in water well drill rigs.  The top mast is a small gearbox that goes into the mast of the drill rig, and is responsible for turning the pipe that drills the hole in the ground.  The transfer case is used to drive the truck and all its accessories.
