Nice Mitch!  Any chance you happened to count out the gear ratio while you were in there?

Sorry,  no. 

Ten years is still a long time.  Not a problem, as long as spare parts are available.

As opposed to, say, my 1666 which is still going strong 73 years later?

The worm on the new replacement looks to be a larger diameter, is this just an illusion of the photograph?

Just an illusion of the shadows in the photo.   

Might want to get a spare set of parts while they are still available...

Another contrast with postwar:  With postwar, you can get the worm and gear by themselves.  With the modern [rhymes with snap], the best you can do is get an entire axle and an entire motor assembly...
