Need machinist's help in DFW area
 

One of my hobbies is restoring old (60s-70s) garden tractors. Some
came with electric power lifts for implements. The weak link in those
is the motor gear; a 32 pitch, 16 tooth spur gear with about a 5/8"
face. Bore is 5'16".

I have a 3" piece of carbon steel gear stock I need parted and bored
or bored and parted, whichever, to get as many gears as possible.

Low buck budget so I would like to beg, swap or trade for steak
dinner, liquid refreshment or what-are-you-looking-for.

Can you help or point me to someone who can?

Before you make something, check the Boston Gear catalog. Doesn't sound
too oddball that they might not stock it.

Everybody's got them with a 0.187 face. I need about 0.58.

Thanks anyway.

Is this heat-treated carbon steel? Test it with a file. If it's
heat-treated, it may need to be sliced with a saw and then faced,
trued and bored with carbide tooling.

I'm in Keller, shop is in Azle. I have the machine tools but I'm
light on expertise. I'd give it a go in exchange for getting my Loboy
154 running so I can sell it.

Best bet might be to saw into slugs and then face.
A saw kerf might well be thinner than a cutoff blade kerf,
even given that you might want to clean both up after the
fact.
