Gearbox housing for the model 8 CE meat mincer, corresponding to number 12 in the machine's exploded parts diagram.

• Compatibility: model 8 CE meat mincer
• Function: houses the speed-reduction gear unit
• Exploded view reference: (12)

The gearbox housing contains and protects the gears that reduce the motor's speed while transmitting the torque needed to the mincer's auger screw. It should be replaced when cracked, broken, or when it no longer keeps the internal gears properly sealed and aligned, conditions that can cause abnormal noise or lubricant leaks.
