[Syrupmakers] Goldens' #27

[Richard Harrison]

Forrest,
      I whole-heartedly agree with Mr Boyett's advice. But for what it is worth, I do know people who have had gears cut/fabricated at a machine shop. It is, however, quite expensive. I have also known people who have had gears cast/duplicated at a foundry. This takes a good gear to duplicate from an arrangements with a foundry for the work.
     Personally, I would choose the route suggested by Mr Boyett.

Mr. Boyett,

Thanks for the reply.  I believe this is the route I will have to take
if I can't find gears from another Golden's #27. I look forward to
getting it going again.
