Thank you for the link, although there were no photos of the gears. And I don't know enough about gears to pick it out. But I do believe the one I need is the same one as the MD3 one. So if I could kindly presume upon you to look on that site and tell me which one, I'd be appreciative. I hope we're talking about gears made to metric specs. Thank you.I have repaired three Nikon MD-3 motor drives with the following gear. It works great, I used the brass gear, but there is a delrin gear also available.

Outside diameter; inner shaft diameter aka the bore; the height; number of gear teeth, mark one and count them; the pitch of the gear teeth.And I don't know enough about gears to pick it out
I waited a long time for a cheapo ELW to come along with winder. I have the camera apart on the table now, headed into the reassembly phase. If I was to use the ELW without the winder, I could have had an EL an long time ago. When you have an ELW, then you use the winder. That's the rule. I'm not going through all this tedious repair work just to have half the camera. You should see the dent work I did on the top cover last night. Masterful. It's always satisfying to do such a good job on paintless dent removal.Yikes, sounds like a time trap. Try using the camera without the winder until a simple solution presents itself.

A gear tooth is two triangles back to back forming a wedge, the angle and depth can vary.
High School math will suffice even if its rusty.
Good Job, I'm too fumble fingered to tackle such a task. I did repair a Hassleblad grip the other day, had to make a custom machine screw, it turned out great. I do love the Nikon stuff. I have a couple MD2 motor drives, pretty neat!I waited a long time for a cheapo ELW to come along with winder. I have the camera apart on the table now, headed into the reassembly phase.

Likely tapered for a press fit, should be fine.I already tried to pry the gear up. Won't budge.As I was pushing it on with my fingernails, there came a point where I couldn't any more and had about another 1/16 left to go. So I gave it a couple light taps with the ball peen and a screwdriver.
I don't put them in the garbage. Local pickup has a Recycle bin for paper, cans, bottles. Batteries are left on top of the bin in a separate bag and they are handled separately.As for putting the alkalines in the garbage, I put them in the charger.
