I wonder what made that happen !
Is the camshaft OK ?
Part number is 515969 for the shaft & phosphor bronze gear.
Four Wheel Drives in Hallam list the assembly in their old catalogue at $385 but they also list the drive gear as a separate item.
The gear part number is Q61 and the cost was $38.50.
Might be worth a phonecall, I can get there possibly on Monday and check for you.

Looks like the bronze gear has just worn over its 41 years. Everything is spinning freely. Gear that drives it on the cam is part of the cam and obviously steel so I guess this is sacrificial.
This could be caused if the retaining clamp for the distributor has been over tightened causing the dist spindle to be tight in the bush which puts a load on the gear , i have seen this on Morris Mini's.
Visited Four Wheel Drives this afternoon but they don't think they have the gears or shafts any longer.
Some slow moving parts were sold on a few years ago and a lot of secondhand stuff went to the tip (under the new owners !!).
They will look but don't hold out much hope.
The gear on it's own isn't listed in the Land Rover parts manuals, Four Wheel Drives probably got them from one of the army auctions.
