Pinion Support

Recommended Posts

Im currently working on rebuilding my pumpkin.  I started to clean up the pinion support and found a crack. (see pic) on the inside.  Is this something that can be repaired or should I just pitch it?

Thanks for the help - Chris

That ridge is to support the bearing race. I would be more afraid of the crack spreading from the rough edges, it does not provide allot of support in that area. If you are on a really tight budget I would pull the broken section out, touch up the rough edges & run it. However, these can be bought for less that $100, much less in some cases, so why risk it?
