What product would you recommend to fix it??

Thanks,

Since the piece is not structural I would use a good grade of epoxy such as a metal epoxy it is gray in color when mixed. JB weld is a good one, then sand smooth to match the surrounding area then paint black to to match the machine. Of course the machine needs to cleaned first using Billy's tute's. Just a thin coat on both surfaces to be mated hold in place for about 5 min. then let cure over night. If very carefull you will not see the repair. Glenn
Thanks so much. I will keep you posted. I have it sitting after a mega dose of lubricating oil. Maybe that will free some things up. She was BONE DRY.
