I recently discovered that splines on my model A's crankshaft were pretty bad on the pulley end. I found and purchased decent looking used one to replace it on ebay and just received it yesterday. I was somewhat dismayed to find that one of the splines was partially missing as shown in the pics. It was described as having good splines and this was not shown in any of the pictures on the auction. I thought that it might have gotten chipped during shipping but there was no evidence on the package to indicate that. Upon a closer look there are machining marks like someone purposely milled this off at some point. Why would they need to do that?
Will this need to be repaired? All of the other splines and what's left of the one look really good. I don't plan on working this tractor hard but I also don't want any problems down the road either.
I'm still pretty disappointed that this wasn't disclosed in the auction to begin with. The seller has 100% positive feedback so I thought he would be trustworthy.
I'm no expert on this old tractors so I would appreciate hearing opinions from more experienced folks.

You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
