The shaft was straight as can be and the wear on the gear teeth is uniform around the gear so that indicates that it wasn't a gear issue to me. It's just like the bushing was really soft. Heck, I've seen bronze bushings wear the shaft out, and bronze isn't very hard.

C863 bronze is black. It is a sintered oil impregnated iron/copper product.
