Rick, What a neat way to do a service diagnosis! Now we can all share. I was
looking over your
shoulder here, and I noticed the worn gear seems to be without the holes or
grooves to allow oil
to lubricate the bearing surface of gear against shoulder of the shaft. Is
it worn away on the bad
gear? (One can't tell depth in the picture) Perhaps it's the cause of the
failure.

Reed, I believe it had the grooves when it was new because the part numbers
are the same and it's missing metal. I think the grooves just wore off.
At first glance I think something got trapped in there, but I'll have to look
a bit more before I make that choice.
