That would take a gear hob machine and a spline broach to make. Looks like a simple part, but it takes some pretty specialized machining operations to make it happen.

First thing out of the guys mouth, with a CNC lathe, around here, would be .....
wha-da-ah want .. 50 , 100 , 300 of em ...

Agreed. I'd find another one already made. First you have to figure out what the forms are for the teeth and the splines. They both take specialized cutters. You'd be looking at $1000's to have one made in the US.

...not as expensive as one might think, but it simply depends on how happy one wants to be. is it needed for something important, or is it for just a lawnmower...

There's a guy here in town that feeds plastic proto parts to the Pratt complex .. I doubt I would even be allowed walk in the door ..

Those machines are getting more popular every day. I studied up on a bit of cad~cam a few years ago . James Perry .. pushed me along for a bit, sent me some links to software that I could build pretend projects .. Like a lot of things in life .. if I stuck with it .. by now I'd be able to use it . Ifin I was a young buck .. instead of an old fart bout ready to retire .. might~would be different ..
