Busted door opener

I finally looked over the garage door opener I broke when the door was frozen to the ground before going to Brazil.

The door is a Challenger Safe-Way R1500 or a Challenger CH-1000 made by Challenger Corp of 15E Easy Street, Bridgewater NJ.

The main chain drive worm gear is broken but I found a part:

So should I fix it? The door opener worked fine before it broke plus it does not have any of that safety eye systems that are on new door openers to install.

I still also need to replace the air cleaner cover for my lawnmower that I ran over with the lawnmower after replacing the air filter that I also shredded with the lawnmower. Currently using a paper towel and rubberband.
