Where can I get a replacement plastic gear for the front motor?
Where can I get a replacement plastic gear for the front motor?
The plastic gear is split and missing a tooth causing it to lockup when being used.

Is this a good question?
I can give you a temporary fix, if the gear is stripped and not cracked. I got some friction tape and cut a strip about 1.5" long and about 1/8" wide. I wrapped the gear as tight as I could the same way the motor rotates. I put the belt on which also puts a little more tension on the belt,closed the assembly and tried it out. It's been a week so far,and it works as good as it ever did. I don't know how long it will last ,but so far so good. I hope this will be helpful, until we can find out where we can get a new gear.
