One of the tasks when I was an apprentice many years ago was to repair a gear with a broken tooth. This involved tapping and screwing in bolts, cut heads off, weld to create and replace material then file back to correct profile.

What I liked about it, is that somebody bothered to do it, the actual machining isn't that hard, it's the attitude that " I'm not buying a new one I can fix that".
