Repairing a Kawasaki engine on a PA540 power unit (JD 525 mower) - ran low on oil with oil sensor/light disconnected. Oil slinger seized to crank gear and ate into lower crankcase housing.

I've heated it so hot (propane torch) that the gear teeth have blued...... since the crank gear drives the hydraulic pump on this stupid power unit, do I need to replace it now? Or should I just put it back together after polishing the scoring on the face of the gear?
I'd like some opinions before I go in there with a cutoff wheel to get the old blued gear out.
