Hi BB,

Looked through the initial photos and cotter bolt was never there, i just didn't notice (newbie here).

So i have taken off the engine and have found a small section of crack in the rear rail.



Back Rail looks ok.


Can you point me in the direction of the best repair method? I have a welder buddy that should be able to look after for me.

Below are a few photos of the clutch & engine shaft. The shaft key way on the engine shaft looks a little worn porobably due to the cotter pin not being installed.

Also The two halves of the clutch have a little play/movement when put back on the shafts. Not sure if this is a problem as not sure how much is acceptable? The pin for the engine is also missing a bit at the end.








Thanks Again
