I got the idea to reclock from Keith's video. I think the reason he didn't go 180' was to be able to get the most amount of teeth on each side so the head would have 45' of good teeth to tilt. I will look at it again on mine to see where it needs to be. The worm gear sits at about 4 o clock and those are the 4 or 5 teeth on the head gear that got trashed on mine.
Pontiac428 I like your idea. That is along what I was thinking. This is not something that is going to get used much if at all. I wish my welding was that good but I have a guy down the block that did aerospace stuff so I figure he's my guy.
I figured I would give Wells a shot and ask $, haven't heard back from them. If the small worm gear and shaft were under $100 I may go for it, but I am not holding my breath.
My 3 phase motor is not playing well with my VFD so I am going to modify the old motor plate and use a 56 frame 2 HP. I did ask Wells about a price on a motor. They quoted me a 3 HP Baldor for about $1200 (yikes). I only plan on going with a 2HP. I can get a Baldor 2 HP for about $500 or an import for around $300.
Trying to take photo's of all as I go for assembly and if anyone has any questions.

“I think your idea to clock and re-drill the driven gear is brilliant.”
Aren’t the two holes 180 degrees from each other? I would think you would just reinstall it with the damaged teeth on top.
