Pete,

At one time in the past, perhaps the now distant past, someone actually reproduced the Green Gear.  Finding one my take some time, and we hope there’s at least one out there that you can get.

(By the way, as I remember, the thing has a dished central part, the central hole has two flats to kept the angular location on the shaft correct, and is a rather fine-toothed gear.  Certainly not a stock item you might find at a gear manufacturer.)

But as folks have said, the thing is handy for keeping synchronization among the two parts of the gear train during dis-assembly, but it’s not essential.  I’ve not done that alignment, but we can assume that re-synchronization is both covered in the manual(s) and is not difficult beyond the expected carefulness needed.
