Took the gear/housing/spring out. Bought new gear. Cleaned up housing (they're reproduced now), put it together with the pin/collar, and put back in place. All easily done after removing the carburetor, oil pipe, and valve chamber cover.
A wire wheel on the component parts MIGHT have cleaned it up enough to operate - for a while until re-rusting occurs.
This gear/drive is one of those which takes quite a beating in real life. So does the center cam gear - but that one is harder to do something about.
At the end - re-time engine - voila...
