Great replies. The gear is a pinion. It's integral with the pulley cluster. One thought I had was to machine all the teeth off and make a new pinion and press it over.
I've seen that dovetail idea. Keith Rucker. It's too small for that.
I could have the whole assembly 3d printed on an SLA machine. But I want to use as much original as I can.
I don't want to machine all.the teeth off or destroy it in any way. I think if I grind the damage out and give it a very good clean, then preheat it with a propane torch, I should be able to lay on beads of aluminum or silicon bronze. Apparently using AC with about 90% balance works well for this.
Once I've got the damaged area built up I will Re cut the tooth with a 14DP cutter.
