The brushes were worn, and one was shorter than the other. Idiot light
works fine, but did not indicate a failure. I replaced the brushes and
regulator unit and all is well. $16

I put a volt meter, ammeter and oil temp gauges on my 200D. That told me
most of the missing pieces. Between oil pressure and temp, I could tell
when the oil was a little low.

Many times in the past i have been able to glue the gear to the shaft. I
used epoxy but there are probably better adhesives available. JB Weld,
