wrong in your counting.

Dividing 9 into 32 gives you  3.55.



Yes Andy, but now you aren't clueless, because Harry gave you a clue!  Take 
something indelible, like a permanent marker, clean off one of the teeth on 
 the ring and one on the pinion and mark them, them rotate the pinion one 
turn,  counting the teeth until you get back to the marked tooth (don't count 
the  marked tooth twice!), Then turn the pinion back a turn until the 
marked ring  gear tooth is visible. Start counting the ring teeth while you turn 
the pinion  (Best guess, it will be 3 and a half turns or so) Again don't 
double count the  marked tooth. There is your data, 9 and 32 sounds logical.
