Also that ebay one was the wrong one so I think I'm sh*t out of luck. I spose I can buy a new one and fix my car a bit later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't have to be a perfect fix cos it's only 13hp but I'm not sure I could bring all the cracked edges together. I had a quick try with a clamp but I'd need a series of clamps pulling in various directions to line it up properly I think. It is split through a couple of shaft journals too so that would require quite a bit of work to make them nice again. I've done some more research and other mowers use the same or very similar parts so I'll go through the cheaper options before I buy a welder. Lol I do want to buy a better welder but it's not a priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently in S.A you wont be able to register your car if it is affected, from November 1st. https://ismyairbagsafe.com.au/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then the nut holding the wheel on could be undone with just my fingers. Glad that airbag didn't deploy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
