Not sure if it requires modification or not but I believe the gear you are looking for is off of a reed and rotary motor (Formula A, ICA, Formula super A). These motors haven’t been run anywhere for a while and parts are scarce so you are unlikely to find one second hand. I would give joey at Overdrive a call and see if he has one in stock.
