I know its late now but certainly could be welded. Preheat and back thin part with copper for best results.

I am not sure what part you were referring to that needed the welding.   Can you be a little more specific.

I'm thinking he is talking about that right rear av ear on the 475 I rednecked.

Yes, sorry....its not letting me quote.  The magnesium cases can be welded. Just cause one person failed doesn't mean it can't be done. Welding is one of those things that an "ok" who knows how to work a particular metal is better then an ace who has never touched it.

It almost looked like they tried to use aluminum filler rod to me instead of magnesium.

fossil found a dealer in Canada that could still get the  poulan pro 475 clutch aka PTO side seals. $10 something a piece. I got one coming for backups.

I still think the newer bearing seal deal in 425 445 505 will work too. But till I hear from Randy, I cant say for sure yet.

Just throwing this out there.  Not a have to do as I can dremel out what I need for my air filter needs.

I've got a NOS poulan pro 475 air filter cover for my new project  saw.  If someone has a good condition air filter cover 415 425 445 505 with the air filter type I use. I would trade. Other wise I will need to trim the plastic up inside the NOS PP475  cover like I did on my 475 to  run the filters I like on them.  Might also have to sand the screen printing off.

So rather someone that needs a nice NOS 475 cover to trade for a good cover for my needs.



Also have a used yellow PP475 tank that I am going to trim the air filter plastics out of to use for the air filter style I like.  If someone has a yellow 415 tank and needs a 475 tank for that style air filter, I would gladly trade you too.

Let me look at my 475 to see what the cover looks like on it to see if it is something that I might be interested in doing.   Thanks.
