Cleaning And Painting Wells Index Model 745

Kieth Rucker has a video on YouTube where he replaced the worm gear on his W-I mill. I think his is a Model 845 though.
Thank you after watching that video I can see that it is not a single piece Wells may have a replacement gear
 
Another option might be to rotate the gear 180 degrees to get the damaged section to a spot where it will never be engaged.

That's what I did. I emailed Wells Index and the gear is available for 230.00

Ouch! Not as expensive as I've seen with other gears and stuff from other "old" machinery companies.
Might not get to eat lunch for a month to pay for the gear. Just a though on funding.
 
I have ordered some grease and some bearings for the 745. I hope they get here soon before I forget how it goes back together
 
Well I got my bearings and they sent one of them wrong.
It was supposed to be sealed on both sides and is only sealed on one.
 
Can some one tell me if all 3 of these bearings are the same?
I didn't take enough pictures and I am stuck
