| Hi everyone.
My Sears Craftsman belt drive GDO, (Model#13953919) has died. It is about 5 years old. I purchased a 3/4 horse Craftsman belt drive GDO (Model 53918) as a replacement. Was wondering if I can use the current rail/belt assembly, without taking it down, and simply replace the old motor unit and install the new motor unit in it's place. Is this possible?
Thanks for you assistance. |

| I see no reason why you can't as long as the rails are the same. You will have some spare parts just in case. |

| Hi Don, Thanks for the answer. I replaced the motor unit, and everything worked well, just had to replace the outdoor pad, and the car units. The sensors and indoor pad worked w/the new unit. Can anyone suggest the type of greas to use for the plastic gear/belt? |

| The grease that comes with new gears is called Lubriplate. I'm pretty sure you can buy it at Home Depot in the garage door opener area. |
