Good Luck!
On those low cost, right angle,worm gear motors, finding a replacement gear is almost impossible. They are often custom molded to drive shaft to reduce costs. Can sometimes find a generic plastic gear, but they you have to figure out a way to attach it to old shaft, usually by machining the old shaft for a locking pin.
The recommended solution is a whole new gear motor. The Grizzly price on replacement motor is much higher than I expected, until I read it was 110v DC 105W motor (~1/8HP). Be a challenge to find a generic replacement much cheaper, and have to modify the mounting bracket for different gear box.
IMHO - The low cost wood working conveyor belt sanders tend to all have same conveyor design flaw. Instead of using a LoveJoy type split shaft coupler (that can break when there is a jam), the drive is hard coupled to drive shaft. When there is problem, the drive gear shreds.
If I owned a conveyorized machine without a split coupler, would take time to installone; if I had to spent money on a new gear or motor, to avoid repeating the process later.
