my neighbor got jealous of my mower and went and bought a used commercial 60 inches himself
well to get to the point he broke the five speed tranny housing almost in half when he plopped it down on a rock in the creek trying to get to the back of the property
I have undertaken the repair as he is going to redo all the phone lines in my house and add some network wiring for my dsl
I have disassembled , cleaned and baked the housing after putting it back together on a piece of box tubing to act as a fixture to hold it flat , it is a split type housing
top half and bottom , I machined up some half rounds to bolt on to the plate in the locations for the needle roller bearings and used the good half of the tranny to locate these my question is what kind of filler rod should I use
I expect to have to grind out the first passes of the weld and re weld to account for some outgassing of the material
it is a peerless tranny that was cast by Tecumseh
