ZXT 2,401 #3 Posted November 4, 2021 Welcome to the forum! Any possibility of repairing it? Maybe slide a piece of pipe that's the correct diameter over it and weld it? Looks similar to most any push mower, but it might be a bit narrower than that. Can't speak for a new, exact replacement, but there are definitely ways to make something work. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ri702bill 8,316 #6 Posted November 4, 2021 Or drill a 3/8" hole in both pieces about a half inch from the break, slip a tube into it that is a decent tap in fit, and plug weld the holes to to tube. Did that on my Honda walk behind. Bill 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
