I have a Fellowes Shredder that needs a new plastic gear. Fellowes tells me that they cannot locate the part due to the age of my shredder. The gear itself has # 38741 imprinted on it. Is there anywhere I can get this particular gear for my shredder?
-   The teeth on the nylon geared cogs have broken, I would like to know if I can purchase new gears and from which company. My shredder is a fellowes p55c and not very good at all, this is our third machine and will not be buying anymore fellowes tat.-   PHLEP
If this unit is worth it to you, you can build your own gear. Here is a link to get plastic repair materials to make plastic parts. This site also will have materials for repairing plastics.
Another possibility is to search Ebay for a unit like yours which has other problems. Never can tell... it may be there. Make sure you ask for the model of the unit in your search (on the NET as well. The serial in this case is not needed.
