Warner Auburn Ind gearbox WA50-7A

OldJunk · Jul 4, 2022

I need an output-side cover plate for a Warner Auburn Ind gearbox WA50-7A. It's out of an old brush-hog mower and is in great shape except for the damaged cover plate. It appears to be cast iron; is this something that can be welded? Any repair suggestions or new/used-part sources would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

If the gears are in good shape and the shaft isn't bent or twisted a new part could be machined relatively easily from steel.

I had that same gear box on a Woods mower.
Maybe find a dealer that can identify it. Looks to me
like there was water laying down there and it froze
and broke the casting.

That's what I was thinking if not available. Somebody with a lathe and a few of the critical measurements could machine one. All done from the back in one setup and it would be true with little effort.

No way you'll machine that in one setup. It's not flat on the back.

With a thicker plate so it could be cut from the front and left flat on the outside it seems like it could be cut from one setup in a lathe or boring mill.

I've been known to fix things like that.

Did you find anywhere to get parts for your gearbox?

Don't know why more folks do not think of brazing right away. You can prolly braze that stronger than trying to weld it.
