I saw this mentioned on another threat in a previous post, has anyone tried welding the two (gear and plate) together? Are there any significant downsides to attempting this, as it seems like a relatively simple (if welding is available) fix...

Also, has anyone tried pinning the two? That idea was tossed around this evening, milling and pinning at three or four points the gear to the plate. This would support the central pivot on the double D, if nothing else.


Just some thoughts, drawing and (hopefully good) results forthcomming
