After welding in a new spline, picked up parts from the sandblaster last week, so was able to start going in a forward direction (am sure there will be plenty more backwards steps). After sandblasting, this got an epoxy based zinc primer powder coat (the gray color coming out of the oven), followed by color - IH red of course and the color match is pretty nice.
I did this in part because it should take a lot of abuse, and I want to see how this epoxy primer/polyester powder coat combo holds up.
Im declaring this one piece ready for reassembly. (one out of ????). Im slow, but I will get there....
Next will be the housing/auger assy but its getting sprayed.
