What is the main difference Maj? More gears?, more bearings?....bigger gears? what? Or is the layout completely different?

The engineering is different, better. There is a small gear on the left side,(in the 15) that would fall off eaisly and some folks wouldn't know where it was supposed to go. In the 20, they made the gear to fit on the shaft, it will still fall off, if you're not careful, but it is easy to reinstall. Does that help?

They prolly just wore out. Cheap as they are I'll prolly replace them before I need em again. I won't be pullin nuttin before next july!

They're actually made pretty good (wish the spool was metal) on the inside, big, thick gears, would be hard to wear them out, I'll be happy to look at them for you.

I just wondered.....never saw inside a 20, kinda thought maybe they had some bigger and better bearings or more of them. I have had a 15 all apart.....its no problem to put back together, or it wasn't for me anyway.

That little gear is the one I need maj.
