Default '32 BB speedo gear

Howdy Boys, would any of you know if the speedometer gear at the driveline is the same as the AA? I have one that has been stripped pretty bad. Thanks for the help!

The parts book shows the driving gear is the same 1932-35, the driven gear 1930-35.

Thanks Bob C. I need both gears. I can get the driven one from Snyder's, but haven't found a source for the driving one. I have a "parts" truck, might have to steal one from it. Thank you sir.

They never changed the turtle from A's thru 1948 There are a
bunch of gear ratio's. There is a number like 18 on the top of
the turtle. I have a big can full of them. Send me the number
on yours and your address and I'll send you one, no charge.

My father was commanding officer of I think the 32nd Seabee's
during WWII in the Gaum and other islands. I have a bow and
arrows from Pigme's and a sword from a Jap officer that is in
a red silk cover that still has his blood on it.

I see 1 gear (driven) and a gear holder. I thought you needed both gears including the driver which is on a shaft.
