ATSF 616 Switcher truck drive gear worn out

As long as you have it broken down this far to replace the 600-111, do the 600-119G(gear only)/2328-82 worm wheel as well if it shows wear.

I can't seem to find the 600-119G - but...

the thing that maybe I didn't make clear is that this gear moves up & down, out of position, when reversing direction. eg: the top pic is 'forward' (correct position) and the bottom pic is 'reverse' (gear in the wrong position) and is beginning to wear out the gear teeth. the gear pin/axle bearing surface is worn out to a larger egg-shaped hole, this hole is hiding behind the gear on the motor truck face. the bearing surface/hole is enlarged and not repairable.

primarily I posted this to help warn folks to keep careful track of their bearings and washers when rebuilding or replacing brushes in their motors

the truck is kaput, but if anyone has a replacement - holler at me i might use the remaining parts of this unit to fix up some others

If you are changing the gears, you can add a bronze or Oilite bushing into the aluminum frame as long as you're pulling the shaft anyway... maybe on both sides.
