So I searched the net for the part number. I came across the TriLite website that has the diagrams. I will post them below. On them show the parts breakdown. There are 2 different part lists depending on the year your model was built.
Note: Two types of motor/gear assemblies were used in the TB8:
- The Split Type assembly was produced before October 2015; its components are visibly exposed.
- The Block Type assembly started production in October 2015
So I searched the web with my specific part number. Came across this website

Poked around that site. Looked promising. Secure checkout. So I took a chance. Confirmation email. Receipt email. Noticed a strange shipping package on my UPS app from a company called Bird-X out of Chicago. Package weight was 1lb. So I figured it was my order. Package arrived today. Return address was Bird-X. Packing slip on the box that is in the plastic wrap, was from TriLite out of Illinois. Opened her up and sure enough it is my part/gear. All shiny and new. Has the bearing in the middle, new bolt, and new ball that the arm attaches to.
Will update later in the week when I get to install the gear. Will also clean and lube both gears. In hindsight, I should have ordered both gears and then I wouldn’t have to worry about it.
