Got a few welded gears if you can't find a spool. Have only seen one and that was 30 years ago.

Several decades ago, with the family welding/fabrication shop to use, we made a pretty nice version of a spool: All the center gears were removed, the teeth ground off the axle gears and then welded in. The center was covered/shrouded with a section of light Al tubing (so it didn't function as an egg-beater in the oil) and then we counter-sunk the screws that held the crown wheel on and smoothed/polished the flange.... Nice. Did it help? Who knows? It should have reduced some internal drag.... Joel
