Atlas 6 inch saved from scrapper

[Rickabilly]

Yes, it does look like the gears could be recut into a pressed on ring, If I'm not mistaken Atlas used a lot of die cast parts, the gear in question looks to be die cast in Pot metal (Mostly zinc) so a steel gear would last well against the opposing gear in zinc, even if the opposing gear is a little deformed from wear.
