Fireball II Parts

[894]

Folks, I need the lower (coarse-cut) driven gear for an FBII. This is the one on the bottom of the counter shaft, white/tan plastic, D-shaped center hole. If anyone knows of a cross-reference to any other unit, that too would be appreciated. My camera disappeared so a pic will have to wait for now... 

OK, here we go:

Really?

I can't believe no-one has a parts unit laying around...

Couldn't epoxy it back together? Find someone with a 3d printer? Or a good cnc shop may be able to make you one out of aluminum

Don't know anything about 3D printers. Fill me in... costs, locations, materials, etc... That sounds interesting. I've heard about those but am clueless regarding the whatzits. If it'll hold-up to the heat/stress/lubrication, I may do it if it's cost-effective. That's the exact reason I didn't do the epoxy route...I don't think it'll hold-up over time.

It actually looks like it may have been glued once before, actually. Obviously, it didn't hold.

Try JBWeld instead of epoxy.  It works great on plastics.

I have been using it for years.

Thanks again, hoser!
