Super A

[grandpa Love]

Picked up a dirty,non running,but fairly nice super A Saturday. Motor ain't stuck, should be an easy fix. Good pressure washing and uncovered a bit of brazing......I love to see a farmer fix. Sure beats the disposable age we live in.

Do it. It appears to be in a place that is not under extreme stress. Jim

It's on the corner of the touch control, so not a structural repair that affects putting power to the ground. If it doesn't leak there's nothing wrong with it.

Of course I'm sure you're going to get told because of that bit of braze, you'll need to take the engine to a machine shop for a full overhaul or it will smoke, drink oil, blow up within the first hour, and you'll be cheating the person you eventually sell it to...

Never seen one broke there. Wonder how that would even happen. Looks like a good brass job

It looks like an old repair, probably done right. It was under many,many layers of grease

I would guess that it was full of water at some point and froze up.
