I ended up replacing mine with a motor off of a motorized reindeer Christmas lawn ordiment.
While looking to fix the lights after a couple seasons, I noticed the motor which still worked fine to have a new use.
A bit of rewiring was needed as it was 120vac but has been working fine for many years now. So it's the perfect time of year to hunt for that motor. I can't remember if I needed to make up a coupler or not??

I was under the impression that the stall of the motor and the eventual phase shift of the current is what reversed the direction.??
I have never found anything good to repair that gear, my father actually had a crack at it a couple of times for me as well but both attempts lasted about 30secs.

I should have taken pictures of what his attempts looked like as he embedded wire or spring steel into the gear and using epoxy or Ethylene dichloride to bond the crack. Like I said nothing worked. Hopefully your attempt will work.
