Why not just "V" groove out the piece that is cracked , reweld it . then lathe it back to where it is supposed to be.
Bolens 1050 needs transaxle
I have a 1050. since 1979.
I mowed everything in sight around property.
Managed to hang up on road shoulder.
result a cracked transaxle. part 171-6505 A per attachment.
All else is operational. Have 42" lawnmower, and 36" snowblower, wheel weight, Chain, very light on rust, as kept inside garage.
But, still original belts, Tires original, but still in good condition, keeps air.
Starts up easely, after a couple of slips on the belt.
Where can I get replacement part?
Tractor will pull about 700 lbs of logs on trailer on flat surface, but wont pull itself up slight incline without major slipping.
Tried the hub tighthening, in out but still slips.
Checked gear box. No stripped gears, Oil clean and full,
see attachments
Note... Question!
If I drill a hole throught the transaxle and shaft... place a spring pin.
would I drill one or two holes?... what would be dia to drill to stay on safe side. Would this work? for snowplowing? Don't want to weaken shaft more than required. suggestions?
Any assistance, most appreciated.

OK, it is welded, See attach.
and refinished smooth to re-install.
Have new 1/4 x 1/4 x 12" key to cut to measure.
Hope that it does the job. Grass is long,
Snow is forecast with outlook to a mean season. snow Blower greased and ready.
Next project: Linear Actuator 12VDC vs Hydraulic lift?
Actuator would cost about $150. or less.... but, how much stroke do I need
for snowblower lift.....
Looking to get Plow. There is plow available that I could Adapt... it weights 140# + whatever I have to use to adapt. that would also be lifted by the "Linear"
Your assistance is valued Highly... Thank You.

snow setup...
Add liquid ballast to the rear wheels... rv antifreeze from tractor supply works... I'm running ags that are 10.5 width on factory rims.
I have loaded tires, plus I have 50lb cast weight wheel weight on each side. I have a snowblower for it, but never hooked it up. I set the plow at the most extreme angle and start at the bottom center of the driveway. Basically its pushing it off to the side with each sweep. I can clear a steep driveway with the 1054 setup that way. Works great and is quick, I run it in Hi 3rd with the engine maxed out most of the time.
Its only for street use in that configuration...If I run it through the yard, I leave divots where the bars engage the ground:hide:
You could look at spring assist kits for the manual lift, I have one on my 1054. They are easy to copy, I have an original bracket that I copied with cardboard and made a new one with modifications that accommodate the tecumseh HH100 wider oil reserve that replaced the Wisconsin 10hp engine.
Not the greatest picture, and there is a small clearance problem with the mower deck due to the mods for the HH100. But works great with the blade (what I designed it for).
