IHC Mowing Machine - Help Needed

I'm a doodlebug and conversion tractor guy - Model T and Model A Fords. I recently acquired a 1927 Model T Ford that was combined with an IHC mowing system and I'm trying to identify the year/model of the system - for general information and parts (I need a drive gear). The closest I can find to this system on the internet is a 1915 IHC Champion Horse-Drawn Sickle Mower. I have included some photos. Any help or referrals to an information source would be greatly appreciated!!

there was a man, in rutherford county, tn. that had one of these and used it to cut hay. about 1985 or so. it was mounted to the ford car, etc.

good luck on finding parts.
 
Yes, I have an early mower parts book. If I had part numbers off some of the major components I could probably identify the model. Sounds like an interesting restoration!
 
Will work on collecting everything I can find off her this weekend. The drive gear I need in the small one in the picture that powers the larger bull gear (a tooth is sheared off on the drive gear - still works and it has another drive gear on the other side, but I want to replace it). The drive gear is cast iron and has D730 stamped into it (along with the circular IHC logo).

Here is a picture of the whole vehicle:

Yes - tooth snapped. Still drives the tractor, but would like to replace and have a spare or two if I can find them. There was an identical gear in the tractor's tool box with a couple of teeth missing (leading me to believe this has been a recurring problem with her over the last 70-80 years). Here are some closeups of the one that was in the tool box.

Fits a New Ideal horse mower. Let me see what gears I have when I get out to the farm today. It's COLD outside! I hope the tractors start. Hay grinder is coming @ 9:00
