Great news. What did it cost?

Your old gear looks like some foreign object got in the box, and caught in the teeth.

$125 for the gear plus $65 for shipping.

I think the overall condition shows it never was abused and could be a very rewarding project. Keep up the good job.

I think someone ignored bearing maintenance, and the bearings fell into the gears, and damaged them..

I agree that is not a good thing but we all know machines that have run a long time with damaged teeth that continued to run OK for a long time. It gets expensive if we try to make them like new again. It may have been that way the last 10 years of its working life.

My personal opinion, much less than that.. broken bearings floating around in the gearbox..

Bump! I'd been thinking about this thread recently and wanted to see if the OP had any updates. Lockdown is a great time to get projects done!

Looks like he hasn’t been on the forum for several months. Looks like a heck of a project.

Amazing perseverance...!

Reading through this, could only wonder how he learned the sequence for disassembly of the various parts. Fairly complex.

He's put some significant effort into the project!
