Hi Grumpy and Boeing,

Well I'd consider that engine as scrap. The crank looks as if it's been silver soldered to hold the broken piece in place while the clutch is placed over the shaft.
I totally agree with Grumpy regarding the the damage that such a situation would inflict upon the chassis rails. I'm pretty sure I can see signs of fractures in the rear rail, but it would be best to using some very coarse sand paper and remove the paint to reveal any damage that's lurking underneath.

I must admit that I picked up a 20 inch machine yesterday that has had both rails totally fail and this will be my first donor chassis to try out the gusset repair method and get it all back together again.

Cheers,
BB
