Thanks!

Actually, I found the problem when I was messing around with it this
evening. I didn't break a gear last night, but I mashed some teeth so that
the gears wouldn't mesh anymore. That's interesting because it's never
happened to me before. Usually, when a gear gives it up, the whole thing
breaks and splits apart.

Anyway, the problem is fixed. Fortunately the gear replacement wasn't too
involved and I got it done in about 30 minutes. Now, if I can keep my hands
off it for a while, the tractor might make it intact to the next meeting!
