Accually I thought the gear was hardened steel. That is why it don't wear out on the metal idler gears. I have heard of people using them for pinion gears on a metal spur. I got some other fixes if it don't work. I may try it and let you know. If I put a spot on each end of the allen wrench so it don't slide thru is all that is necessary. I don't have a brazing torch. I do have a welder.


Peace!
