This is the gear that I am replacing .It is driven from the pit gear on the main wheel and drives the vertical wooden shaft . This shaft has a large cast iron gear on it with wooden teeth that drive the mill stones The gear is held onto the hexagonal wooden shaft with wooden wedges |

I believe that those inserted wooden gear teeth were often/usually made of apple wood. |
