Do a parts search for the model you have and find the gearset. that should get you what you need.

I apologize for asking so many obvious things, but I couldn't find the model number anywhere written on these parts. My pool was made by Shasta pools in AZ.

It looks like an A&A system. Are there any markings on the distributor?

This looks like it.

I went to a pool store with the lid, please see pic 14 from my previous posts... he observed that this lid should have some plastic in the center to hold the shaft... is this correct ? can that be causing this tooo....

Do i need to buy just the gear or the entire assembly ?

 

[Bama Rambler]

Once they wear like that, you're probably better off buying the whole set.

 

[fatboysam]

including the closing lid also ? do you see any issue from the pic 14 ? Thanks a lot

I am attaching one more picture, I draw a marker on the pic, can you please check what this plastic cover kind of thing is? is it expected on the shaft or under the center of closing lid ?

It looks like just a piece of tygon tubing. I don't see it in any of the rebuild or retrofit kits. It looks like somebody added it to keep the impeller pressed down. I'd probably order the rebuild kit and replace everything that it comes with. Before you do that, you may want to pull the gear set out and make sure the balls don't need replacing. If they do you need the retrofit kit.

Thanks, really appreciate it, the new closing lid has some plastic thing in the center that holds the shaft, that plastic part seems to be missing from my lid... i checked from a video in the link below, I don't know how important that thing is...

I am little confused about if this will also work as replacement or not ? I am not able to find the model/part number in my existing gears..
