Right. Get the brass gear - Mid America is one source but shop around you may be able to find one at a better price. I just went through this myself when I had the same noise. Not that bad to change but forget the plastic replacement gear - not worth the effort. Search this forum for more help - this topic comes up often.
Welcome and enjoy. You've come to the right place.

until you get the brass gear, you can flip the gear 180 and you should have some good teeth on the other side of the gear. for this you don't even have to open the motor, just unbolt the control arm and turn the gear by hand, note where you start before removing the bolt. hope this helps.
