[Syrupmakers] Goldens' #27

[Kirk Palis]

Actually, a pretty decent idea.  Find a good welder who can weld cast iron and it will stick.  Generally have to heat the cast iron up to a certain temperature and (if I remember correctly) use a nickel rod (if arc weld).  If you weld, your local welding store can help you pick the correct rod.  I like the idea of using the bolt(s)

Forrest,

Here is an idea.  Where the teeth are broken or completely missing drill and 
tap the space and screw bolts into the taped holes.  Cut the bolds to the 
proper high and start welding from the base to the top of the bolts.  (Both 
sides) After building it up larger than the tooth needs to be grind or file 
the tooth to proper shape and size.  The weld will more than likely not hold 
to the cast iron gear but it will adhere to the bolts that now will not be 
able to unscrew.  May take one or two bolts for a partially broken tooth or 
maybe 4 or 5 bolts for a completely missing tooth.  I have a repaired tooth 
that has been holding for years on a #27.

Hello all,

I am in need of parts for a Goldens' #27. I have a few gears that have
missing or partially broken teeth. I need the small gear that turns
the large roller gear and the small roller gears.  I would also like
to hear from anyone that has had success with repairing gear teeth.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Forrest
