I would go here and see if I could find a stock gear and modify it as
necessary to replace your broken gear.

About the time I had mastered getting the toothpaste back in the tube, then
they come up with this striped stuff.

I tried repairing the missing tooth on the nylon gear by welding some
nylon
in place and then filed it to shape. It broke at the weld possibly due to
a
lack of skill on my part as I've never welded plastic before and used a
piece of metal heated by my mapp gas torch to melt it. I'm considering
making a metal tooth screwed to a backing plate inside the gear rim. The
nylon gear is acting against a steel gear so I doubt it will cause too
much
damage if it's a little off. The shredder was free because it was broken
so
no great loss if I can't fix it. You can't buy a repair part from the
maker.
My friend already tried.
Thanks
