Weaver 3 wheel jack
Does anyone have parts for one of these? One of the Jack screws is missing two teeth.

Re: Weaver 3 wheel jack
If the problem is in the screw itself, you may be able to obtain acme threaded rod from McMaster-Carr. If it's some other thread or an odd size, a machinist with a lathe should be able to reproduce it. That's a nice item.

One of the bevel gears that the screw passes through is missing two teeth.

Re: Weaver 3 wheel jack
A good welder could rebuild the teeth, then they'd have to be hand-shaped or machined.

Re: Weaver 3 wheel jack
Ed, an old time repair is to drill and tap for a couple good size bolts, maybe 1/4-20 or maybe even 5/16. Do a couple side by side where the tooth is missing, and get them as deep as you can. After tightening the bolts, cut them off and grind away the sides a bit. Now braze the tooth profile, and file to shape where it works like a tooth. You want it to turn smooth, with no slop.
The gear is cast iron, and I don’t think any type of weld will hold up.
I bought a “perfect” weaver from a guy through the mail a couple years ago, and that’s how I had to fix it. JMHO for what it’s worth.
