We have a unique opportunity as a customer who had a machine shop and a D21 with bad bull gears/pinion is about to embark on reverse engineering a set of the wider gears but might shave a few thous to make fit EZ.
He will machine the pinion billet - then send to a friend who will hog the gears. A very reputable business with lots of high end military contracts. The Bulls would be from solid cutouts and hogged and then he would machine the rest.
The price - and this is an estimate - would be $1100 for the pinion and about $1900 for the bull gear. He can do extras as the material is not what makes this expensive. We have called around looking for these an the prices are much more than new. We are not looking to profit - just keep the old gals going.
The most important thing is having a few sold will save on the set up per/unit and the gear company will save the program.
If you have a need - let us know. The next batch will be higher - if there is one.
Again, we have done some preliminary serious research = prices might vary but we are serious.
PS this company does reverse engineer haploid spiral bevel ring gear / pinions as well. Now those are expensive ( have seen some huge ones there used in pill press - tablet making machines and some tiny ones)
