Repair part for Tailgater no longer available from King

I have an older Tailgater that has been failing, so I found the youtube video about the elevation drive wheel wear and its replacement. After opening up the tailgater, I saw the rubber debris which wore off the wheel, and I saw the obvious wear on the wheel. There was still some original rubber, so I was able to turn the wheel around and reassemble everything. All is good...for now.

I called King for the replacement part, and they are out of stock, and will not restock. They want me to put this in a landfill somewhere and buy a new one.

I'm a machinist, and can copy the wheel, using better rubber. I would be happy to make several and offer them for sale, but first, I wonder if anyone here has found a third party replacement.
