Cast Iron Transmission Housing Repair

I used the noma-cast on all the root welds, trying to put the chronacast on to shape. It just didn't perform as expected!

Good write-up....Now, if he has any sense... hit it with a spray bomb, clean it up and sell it in the spring!...and he'll either keep paying the Piper, or learn the limits of small machines.

I adjusted the brake on the repaired side and put the wheel back on. Filled the transmission with gear oil, then started the engine and drove it out of the shop. Took it out for a little test drive to move the oil all around in the transmission. Parked it while I investigated the previous repair on the other side. It didn't take much to break through the repair on the other side. Apparently it was a "Cosmetic" repair verses a real repair! I pried the piece out without much effort. Now is re-do the other side for a REAL repair.
In the meantime monitoring the first repair for oil leakage. Apparently I got it sealed up becaause after 4 days, still no leakage!
