Well the spindle,bearings(parts finally came) and sharpened blade are
all done,made a pass and it cut great,then the steering wore out and
missed the neighbors new steel shed by about 6"! A plastic bushing was
shot wich allowed wear on the big gears' teeth,,it's been bad for a
while..It's tore down now and hopefully can find parts locally
Tuesday..
Anybody know if worn gear teeth can be welded to replace metal then
filed to the original shape? I realize this could cost more than a new
gear but it is welded into the assembly wich I have'nt found a
complete one for sale yet..The gear is about 1/8" thick and about 7/8"
wide in the area the welds would go,,would that be likely to warp? If
it warped it would never last..Thanks.

You're more of a Rube Goldburg than I am.
