Somehow in decades of messing with machines I've never needed to repair a gear...replaced a few that were stripped, but never had one exactly like this where out of 38 teeth only 3 are missing. But to replace the whole assembly, if it's even available, would cost megabucks because this gear integral section a more complex assembly with another gear and internal spline, etc.
Gear is spur type, 58mm diameter pitch, 10mm width, 38 teeth. Unhardened, slow speed, non critical application. Should I try and replace the 3 teeth and if so, how...drill holes, drive pins and weld build up..or ?
And if your wondering, the gear this one engages was stripped of all teeth and must be replaced...but being much simplier, not very expensive, so will just order a new one.
