The prop shaft on my J-80 has a one piece prop gear /
water pump cam. A portion of the cam is ate away,
about 1/16" deep, and one tooth on the gear is about
gone.
If I were to attempt repair that was okay for "occasional"
use, what would work the best.
I was thinking of "brazing", as I’m lucky of striking
an arc with any welder within a inch of the target!
Ideas welcome.
If I could get a good gear for $20 I might entertain
that thought, but I’d like to try a repair just for the fun
first 🙂

Prepare to be boarded!
I think someone took this one to a grindstone so I chucked it up in the four jaw and resurfaced the cam.
Check out the wear on those gear teeth. I can’t hear them crunching when the motor is running so the Corn Head grease must be doing something good down there!
