I would appreciate some help in order to make this whole name and gear image into a vector so that I can just add it to a sign that I am making if anyone can help.

If you have scaned image with hight resolution or photo from modern digital camera you can try to trace this image and convert to vector.

I'm not sure traced image will be exact but you can try.

It's simple

Start with Place your image into ilustrator document

Select your image and use Image trace command to choose one of method for trace.

You can also use ImGe Trace Panel (small buton ot to options menu) and then adjust settings.

You can also use Ignore White command avaible when you go to Advanced options in Image Trace Panel

If you are happy just click Expand and your image now is vector

Be sure your image is high resolution

Use Image Trace and you will ikely loose a client:

The best thing is: to do this properly you don't even need to touch the pen tool. Just lines, strokes, ellipses. Strokes need to be expanded, then some shapebuilding with live paint or the shaper builder tool. Identify the font (some flavour of Eurostyle, badly spaced and distorted and you're done.

I agree with Monica — ImageTrace is not a magic bullet, and this artwork is not a good candidate. But do watch the tutorial and give it a try and then you will know for yourself. You do need to spin open the Advanced section and use those settings. If you know Illustrator, it is faster and you will get better results if you start this one from scratch. Monica is giving you good advice.
