From what I've read, if you don't work the tractor to much a missing tooth or two wont do much harm but I have a story with my '77 Craftsman lawn mower. I rebuilt her engine about five years ago becouse it was blowing smoke. Ran fine for three months before it started back firing and died. I took the flywheel off to get to the timing gears to see if it was timed right and discorverd both timing gears had lost all of there teeth. It turns out I didn't screw the capacitor and points in tight enough and it became off timed. Eventuly from several hours of hard mowing the timing gears lost all there teach and did sever damaged the oil pump. luckly I was able to get new gears and had the tractor back up and mowing in less than a week. But now every time I rebuild a tractor I always look at the timing gears and transmission to check for one or two cracked or missing teath. I try to replace them so they wont cause further damage down the road.
