Pretty sure Henning's has those gears in stock. Depending on the vintage, you may have to work a little to get the old gear out, the new gear sets have a set screw, so they drop right in. Some of the older ones were pressed on, so you had to do a little discrete hammering to remove it, making sure to support the motor frame so you didn't wreck it. Of course, if you have a press, then do it the right way, that's how I take them out.
Those pics are painful to look at. How often do you suggest greasing the gears?
