Has anyone been successful in repairing this? I thought about welding this area up and welding on a reinforcing plate. Another thought was to weld the area and then the carriage bolts to the housing. I am unsure if there is enough clearance to reinforce the area without rubbing the chain or drive sprocket.
Unfortunately, the seller told me "the unit works as it should". I would not have purchased if I was aware of the problem.
Thanks for the help and ideas,
