Pierre,
Thank you for jogging my mind into gear. No pun intended. I can definitely use the BDB-1340 gear part #04109A, which means I can use the bull gear, part #04117A. Worst case, the helical is the wrong angle (helical angle or pitch angle) on the 52 tooth gear on the back gears. I don't expect that, but if it is true then I can replace another gear on the spindle or make a Frankenstein monster using the old and new back gears.
Hmmm...
