Today, I tried some suggestions I found on the internet.

First, I tried to "weld" the broken gear with Ambroid brand ProWeld. That did not work.

Second, I am trying Permatex brand Threadlocker, green. This was suggested for a pot metal gear to stainless spindle on another web site. The Threadlocker package clearly says "It is not recommended for plastics."

Using the Threadlocker anyway, I observed that the spindle has a groove in the area that would be covered by the brown plastic gear that is broken. Instructions say that the Threadlocker takes 24 hours to cure.

I dropped a little Threadlocker in the groove and reassembled the trip odometer. Then, I set all the numbers the same. I figure if this doesn't work, or if the penetrating green version of threadlocker works really well and binds all the gears together, no big deal.

Later on in the weekend ...
