044 crankcase repair questions

[Brushswamper523]

Good afternoon all. It has been awhile since I posted, but life has been in full swing. I did a dumb thing today and broke my case on the clutch side (the part that holds the inside felling spikes). I was wondering if there is a way to repair that? I am willing to hunt down another case if I have to. I have done a full rebuild on this already since I got it with a broken case in the first place. Attached are some picture of my blunder. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

@srcarr52 can tig weld it back on

 

[Brushswamper523]

@huskihl thanks for the quick reply. I saw that you could do that(I didn't know that was possible) shipping might kill me on that. But maybe I can find a local welder that can do that.

I have seen people fixing it with some jb weld. Has anyone had actual success with that?

JB won’t hold.

I have seen a hole drilled in outer dog and a bolt and spacer put between the two.

@huskihl thanks man. That's what I was worried about too. That's why I had to ask.

@L34 do you have a picture? I wanna reference it if I could see if it is something I wanna try or not.

Nope, won’t hold. Either mag weld it or replace. Them’s the only choices

If you can't find anyone to weld it, & with not much to loose... I would make a metal plate that covers the area under the serial number, dirll & tap a couple of holes there & screw everything together with appropriate hardware

If you cover the cost of filler and shipping I’ll do the labour for free. Probably won’t be worth it, but the offer is there. Likely cheaper to find a donor saw though! No amount of JB or other epoxy will hold because it’s a fulcrum.

 

[Brushswamper523]

Thanks everyone for the input. I am on the hunt for a donor case at the moment. I will take it back to it's original 10mm case style hopefully. It is in a 12mm style case right now because that is what I had at the time. I will keep you posted on what happens.

I will check and see which 044 case halves I have

 

[Brushswamper523]

@david newbie sweet let me know.

 

[srcarr52]

It would be around $35 plus shipping to fix that. If you tear it down to just the long block you could get it fixed for under $75.

@david newbie sweet let me know.

This is the best half I have. Is it correct? Pm me if you are interested
