If the rest of the press is in good shape it might be worth buying one direct from Greenard, the standard press with a slip handle went for several hundred dollars last time I looked. As long as the frame isn't cracked and the bores are good, ram still fits snug and isn't bent I would consider it. The ones with a big pilot wheel or the ratchet mechanism were near a thousand dollars? I bought one that had been used hard and had to make some repairs, gave a couple of hundred for it and consider myself lucky to have it at that price.

You could carve (hacksaw, grinder, files) one that would be adequate for most applications.
Open up your Machinery's Handbook to Chords Of A Circle to layout the teeth.
Or research "construct decagon".

Or add metal to the existing pinion and file/machine to fit. If using a mill, the pinion itself could be used for close-enough indexing.
Just how bad is it? Pix?

Does not look like the pinion I have will work for you guys- its 11 teeth and does not have a provision for a ratchet- only a cross hole for the press handle- the OD near the teeth is about 1.140".

Both my Greenerd #3 & 3E presses have 12 tooth pinions vs the 10 tooth in pic posted by ecosta.

So you just have a couple of 150 Lb presses laying around still in the crate?
I have an aquaintence who was born into money. As long as I've known him he's never worked. Other than a period when he was part owner of a restaurant-deli years ago. He collects high end vintage Italian motorcyles. His house is easily full of a million dollars worth of pristine fully restord 50's, 60's, 70's, & 80's MV Augusta's, Ducatis, Guzzi's, Laverda, etc.
In his kitchen, a side table is the original unopened crate, contents is a full race kit for an early 70's Duc 750SS. He has a red & white table cloth draped over it, flowers in a vase...
Are your NOS arbor presses on display similarly?

That made me laugh. No I'm not made of money. I acquired them in a government surplus auction. I intended to flip them but they're still here.
