Oh, so sorry Cari. I too can help you with some bad words, maybe we could make up a nasty plastic gear song! I so hesitate to buy a machine that I don't know about the gears for fear of finding what you did. What a beautiful machine to have sitting. I wonder if a machinists shop could make one for you?

I had a grandfather whose every other word was a cuss word! I try to avoid cussing -- I'm not always successful! LOL
I am really sorry about the machine! That's really too bad! Hopefully, a solution can be found.

Glad you got a chuckle out of the original post.

As long as there's clearance around the hub on the side showing in the picture I should be able to turn a collar to put on the gear to help keep it together. Not as good as a total replacement but it should buy some time before it fails completely.

I'd try super glue but I don't think I could get all the grease out so the glue would stick.
