So this well used 461 has a broken tab on the clutch side case and the owner doesn’t want to split and rebuild yet. I have some pictures below to show the damage.
I am wondering if I could get the ole JB welder out and work around the support fins and possibly insert a steel pin to secure it. This is the inner dog mount so likely needs to strong enough to hold up. Does anyone have any insight or advice?
Is this a case replacement situation? It wouldn’t be a bad thing to do a rebuild on it at this stage of the saws life.
Anyway, thanks in advance for any input talk can provide.
