Well done. You learned a lot with this experience.
Here are a couple of things that I have learned over the years:
A) You don't have to start with the bevel gear, just know how the AOE with the motor is going to be.
B) A lot of people fail to watch this one: you must ensure that you do not go so low as to have the sector gear rub on the cutoff lever. This can cause premature wear of the cutoff lever. This can cause more noise than you may want in your gearbox. If you have to raise the sector gear significantly to clear the cutoff lever then the spur gear and bevel gear must be raised accordingly.
This does not refer to the OP situation. He now has perfectly shimmed gears.
