Well Frosty, If you look at picture number ten in the first group you will see this gear under the guard with the missing teeth.
My friend has a drill press like this one and I have used it. You see the broken handle? That is to run the quill up or down while you have the pawl on the other side of that shaft disengaged. I would just vee it out and braze it up. It does not have any load on it. BTW, brazing is often stronger than arc welding on castings as it is softer and will yield rather than crack as weld often are wont to do.

I see the missing teeth now, thanks Warren.

I think I'd start looking for a local casting group about getting in on an iron pour if there aren't enough teeth left to use it. Might be able to find a match at a drive specialty shop, they'd be able to measure it and look it up.

Thanks for the confirmation, broken handle is the fast retract. Though I may have confused myself and called it something else earlier. I do that.
