I think it was stored in a barn. The other gear looked ok but discolored. I guess it was pretty weakened. I'll be hanging onto this one as a donor machine but I'll probably pull that camstack gear right back out since it is brand new and I want to keep it in perfect condition. I know someone will need it eventually. Feel free to message me if you find you need something.
