Lionel 8020 pinion gear not playing nice

I have a 8020 deseil engine that has the pinion gear on the drive truck coming off its mounting pin and binding the other gears. I got a replacement (orginal gear's mounting hole looks slightly larger then the mounting pin) and it has the same size mounting hole. Did I get the wrong part?

I am looking at possible filling in the gears mounting hole with a plastic compound and then re-drilling it to the correct size. Even with this effort, I may still have the same problem.

Anyone have a similar experence that was able to fix the problem?
