yetchh Posted January 27, 2020 Author Posted January 27, 2020 Mmm could be a bit far, but thanks for the offer.. Quote
JustHarry Posted January 27, 2020 Posted January 27, 2020 Is the piece needing repair cast aluminum? I can prob do it although welding cast ali is a gamble at the best of times. Is often contaminated inside the metal and just blows out for no reason. How replaceable are the pieces? Quote
RUNAMUCK Posted January 27, 2020 Posted January 27, 2020 I'd try Scott from skeleton welding and fabrication. They're on Facebook Quote

Yeah I guess it's cast, one is the top handle mount on the actual crankcase and the other is the spindle mount so not worth bying new.. These don't actually effect the saw, just think it's worth the repair.. Quote
