Could someone help me find some gears or a new shaft? |
McMaster sells a the right gear 32T, 20DP, 14.5Deg Pressure angle
But you will have to open up the hole to 1/2 inch (it comes 3/8 stock) and then you have to buy
this collar &
this broach & shim and broach the 1/8" keyway in the 1/2" hole.
Alternatively, you could use a VersaPlanetary but you'd have to change center distances because you still wouldn't have a gearset that added up to the same number of teeth (29+32=61 -- Vex doesn't sell many/any gears with odd numbers of teeth).
Actually, I just now realized that I assumed that you wanted the P60 to be driving the 32T gear. If that is wrong. Then I will have to change my answer.
Good luck.
