Yes.... you have not been very clear at all what parts failed.

The part call-out #54 is indeed a coupler. Call-out's #27 and 54 are in fact gears. No, you have not been clear at all in what you had that was failed.

I know which guy you and the OP are, and this thread is pertinent to both of your problems. They can be together. It's not a "hijack" as the topic is the same.

The gears ironman posted links to are affordable, and even if it needs all new bearings and seals, it's cheaper to rebuild your old one than to buy a new one and modify it to fit. I doubt all the gears are bad, as the others are straight cut. Plus, those input gears are at the very top of the unit, and would be the first to suffer from lack of lube. However, I would have thought that the grinding would have been noticable before they shredded. I still think repairing the old one is your best option.
