He certainly is . I've already checked availability , and was hoping to find one for less than the new price ... which has gone up another twenty bucks since I bought the manuals from him a couple of years ago .

That might take a day or two . There's a similar one on ebay , I'll find it this afternoon and post that link . Thanks !

Well , I may get lucky ... found one on ebay , might actually win the auction . If not , I've figgered out how this one can be repaired (the part that broke is the round section right at the base of the bottom bolt lug ). This ebay link has a picture

I bolted it back together with a spacer in the slot , which holds the part that broke off in proper alignment . I have ground it out nearly thru at the break and intend to braze it with a nickel-silver rod (the older repair I believe is a nickel based filler , grinds nicely without loading the disc , but no sparks) . Preheat and post heat so it doesn't warp or crack , build up a nice fillet in the inside corner area where it's weakest , and bury it in ashes or vermiculite to cool slowly . Oh , and make a filler for that flat spot on the casting this mounts on . Both breaks are in that unsupported area on the gearbox casting .

I took a look at the link you provided. No big deal. If you have a mill, it wouldn't be much of a project to make one from steel, which wouldn't break.

If I had a mill , I *would* make one . (sigh) But I don't have one yet , so ... buy one or repair what I have . Or both and keep a spare .

That does, indeed, make it much harder to machine one! :-)

Snag sezz:

Did you fix it or get a new one yet?

If you like - send me a sketch with dims and I can draw it up and get you some quotes for a new one made from the material and with the finish of your choice.

I have a bid on one at auction right now , and if that falls thru I've already prepped the old one for repair . Took a little thought , but I think it can be repaired with the tooling I have . Thanks for asking !
