Im having some major issues with my wire feed on my Siegen Mig 180.
I have replaced the wire feed and im still having the problem, so i opened up with wire feed box today to find that the gear directly off the motor had worn down quite badly in one place, so im guessing this is the reason the feed works then stops.
Heres a picture of the damage to the gear, it can be made out towards the top:
The gear in question is the one at the top of this picture that is fed directly from the motor:
I have tried to count the teeth and i think there are 56 and 10 teeth.
Now my question is, is it possible to buy this gear? Or does anyone know how i can fix it?
