Got a gearbox here similar to the one pictured that has split the entire bottom piece off
Cant seem to find one in this country and dont think theres much chance of getting one from italy anytime soon so........
Ill have to have a go welding it
Looks to of been broken a while and machine stills runs you can just feel a lot of play in the rotor as the bearing is effectively in mid air
Im guessing the casing is cast steel?
Will be welding a few strenghtening supports onto the outside once finished-wont look very pretty but will hopefully enable me to limp on for a few more weeks until i can sort a new one
Any advice on how to approach gratefully recieved!
