Default gear rebuild

i have a 1939 SB lathe with one broken/missing tooth in the back gear...what would be the best method of rebuilding this tooth?? I have info on brazing or tig welding or mig welding a new tooth and shaping to fit... anyone have their personal preference and method?? am leaning toward mig welding with solid wire and shaping from that but i would like other opinions. thanks
