Default Problem with bobbin gear

I have a problem with my 1971 Singer Stylist Zig-Zag Sewing Machine, Model
413 that brought everything to a screeching halt. It jammed as I was making
a new bed for my dog. I think the Velcro did it in! Everything jammed up
and I had to cut the wad of thread loose from the bobbin area. When I
re-threaded the machine and tried to raise the bobbin thread through the
needle hole in the slide plate nothing happened. I opened the slide plate
and discovered the silver disk under the bobbin case don't move when I turn
the hand wheel. I took off the bottom of the machine and found half a
yellow/brown gear laying there. Does anyone have a website that would show
pictures of Singer gears. I went to the Singer website and couldn't find
the right gear.

I thought of buying a new machine but this one has been good since I bought
it new and I don't need a fancy machine. All I use it for is home
upholstery and curtain projects. It needs to be strong enough to go through
several thicknesses of fabric and this one has always done that. If I
can't find a part for it does anyone have suggestions for new machines that
would work for this purpose? I think my machine has been running on
borrowed time for several years. The foot peddle gets quite hot on my foot
while I'm sewing, the needle doesn't stop when I am winding thread on the
bobbin and one of the spool pins have broken off. LOL!

Stuck with so much to do...TIA

there is a model 413 on this page, but don't know if this is the gear that
you need.
