Product Description
Mitchell 82130 Drive Gear | Fits 600 Series Conventional Reels
Revitalize the cranking power and smooth retrieve of your vintage Mitchell reel with this authentic Mitchell 82130 Drive Gear. As the central powerhouse of the reel's internal transmission, the drive gear transfers rotational energy from the handle to the pinion gear, facilitating the high-torque performance required for heavy saltwater and freshwater applications.
Precision-machined from high-grade marine alloy, this drive gear is built to withstand the rigorous demands of large-game fishing, ensuring that your vintage equipment operates with the same reliability it did decades ago.

Installation & Lubrication Guide
The drive gear is the most critical surface for lubrication within your reel. To ensure maximum gear life and a "silent" retrieve, we strongly recommend the following Deuthlon maintenance products:
-
Deuthlon Reel Gear Grease: Apply a generous but even coating to every tooth of the 82130 Drive Gear. Deuthlon's specialized formula features "Dust-Shield" technology that prevents contaminants from wearing down the metal surfaces, providing a smooth, ceramic-like feel under load.
-
Deuthlon Reel Power Oil: Use a drop on the drive gear shaft and the handle bushings to eliminate friction and prevent the "sticky" handle feel common in older reels.
Why Replace Your Drive Gear?
Over years of use, the teeth on the main gear can become pitted, chipped, or "shark-toothed," leading to a gritty or noisy retrieve. Replacing a worn gear with the genuine 82130 restores the factory-spec mesh with the pinion gear, preventing further damage to the internal bridge assembly and significantly extending the operational life of your Mitchell reel.
