- The Real Mr. Potato has no moving Parts. He doesn't move either, at least on his own.
- Open up Mr. Potato's back and dump out the innards.
# Have fun!

Gearbox gear repair.
It seems to be a fundamental problem for the product.
All the problematic products are the same gear problem.
The two gears in question must be repaired by opening the gearbox.
It would be easy to get the same gear, but...
A gear is cracked.
The thickness of the steel pipe in the middle is larger than the gear hole, resulting in a crack.
Secure the cracked gear with glue and expand the hole.
Grind steel pipes to make the hunger thin.

The cracked side of the gear needs to be cut and glued. This ensures a constant gap between the teeth.

The gears were first disconnected and then polished the bumpy part of the metal pin.Cut off the cracked part a little and fix it with a force adhesive. Apply a little glue to the metal pins and fasten them with the gears.

Do you have a diagram of how the gears fit together?
@weirdalfan1 No, i have not. Cut off the cracked part of the gear. Because it is to fit each gap in the gears. This is important.
Hi there please can you help me. My mr potato head is also broken. He talks but does not wobble. Could you maybe do a step for step guide with photos on how to fix him..... im part of a toy story collection group on facebook and it seems to be a regular problem. If you could do that im sure you would help allot of people we all struggling.please please pretty please. I love my mr potato head and so badly want to fix him i have spent days trying to figure it out but havnt come right. :(
The repaired product was not mine. The repair process was complicated, so I didn't take many picturesI'll organize and let you know the photos I took at the time. If you ever visit Korea, I will help you.

Step-by-Step Fix
- Disassembly: Document each component’s position and assembly order with photos.
- Gear replacement: Swap the damaged gears with precision-matched custom gears.
- Lubrication: Apply silicone-based grease to all moving parts.
- Reassembly: Reverse the disassembly sequence strictly.
Simply using glue to repair a broken gear often doesn’t work. Initially, I tried that approach too, but the result was that it still jammed. Because the gears in Mr. Potato Head are very precision-engineered, I ended up repairing it successfully by replacing the gears with custom-made ones

Hello, thank you very much for your help, but the problem is that when I opened the gearbox one of them came loose and I don't know where to put it. I have included photographs with the gear

I don't see the picture you sent. Maybe you should check—there's no gear image.
