Help with a LL E8

[Power Stroke]

One of my 1st gen Life Like E8s has called it quits. This unit has always had a bit of noise but even with magnifiers I couldn't see any cause. Well it finally reared it's ugly head. Disassembly revealed a broken tooth on the drive gear (engages w/ worm) of the front truck, which resulted in a loud buzz and then an abrupt stop. There is no damage to the driven gears.
My question is, how to get a replacement. I don't have paperwork for either of my E8s, so no part number, and the L/L parts I do have are from the GP and FP, and they are too small.
I wonder if Walthers would even have service parts. I can not seem to find a service/parts link on their website. Can anyone help?
BTW, it runs quiet as a church mouse now but won't really pull much. Imagine that!
Thanks,
Stephen.

If nothing else works out, I may have a whole drive I can let go for super cheap.

I have had nothing but good experience with Walthers for both repairs and purchasing parts.
call them and speak to the gentlemen in the part department. they will surely help you.
best wishes!

Walthers does have service and parts department. I don't think they advertise that on the website. Normally your call their customer service number then they transfer you to the parts dept. (if you don't have the part # handy).

Direct line to the parts dept. is 1-866-833-1468.
