1955cj5 Well-known member Nov 8, 2022 #2 Do your gears look like these? First pic is of the original gears, second pic shows the replacements. Also I added a pic of the bottom plate so you can see the contact marks.

T tgreen03 Junior Member Nov 9, 2022 #3 Great! thanks for the pictures, the first one looks just like mine both bevels down towards pan. Not sure if it mattered, but didn't want to screw it up, thanks again!
