It was well packed with grease, so no lubrication problems.
The material appears to be nylon, but could be something else.
Whatever it is, it appears unworn, unlike the motor shaft which is
knackered.

Was the gear pair lubricated with anything? Is the nylon gear actually
nylon, or is it some kind of glass or ceramic filled plastic?

Rich.
