Resurrection of a 385xp

The busted crank end is an easy fix. I'm running one in my saw that was like that. Welded it up and cut the groove back in with a Dremel.

The crank separation is another can of worms. I'd guess it got hot in order for that to happen but who knows.

I wonder if the tip would have to be hardened. Way above my paygrade.

Remembering back, seems like mild steel is in the 40k lb tensile strength area.
I believe mig wire is in the 70k range

Kinda what I was thinking. I'm not set up with v blocks to true it back up, though.

I'll just weld it up and put it in Clint's 2188. He'll never know the difference. Good enough for who its for

Got a great looking crank and case half in the mail today from brother JJ. Kinda smelled like ass. Is that you @jacob j. or does the whole town smell like that?
