I got my coupler today for my crawler. I knew going in that there was a chip in it. I had planed to grind that spot somwhat to make it smooth and less prone to cracking.
However there are some small cracks that the guy didnt see. They are visible in the pics, look hard.
This one the cracks are visible to the left and right of the pen. they from kind of a upside down V but dont appear to connect.
This pic you can see one extending down to the left but it dosent make it past the top of the retaining ring groove.
It looked like there may be a small bulge in the retaining ring groove. You cant see it in the pic however.
Most of the coupler will be sorounded by bearing or gear. only that last little bit wont be enclosed in anything. I need this for my Marlin Crawler MC09 adapter. They are currently out of stock and normally run about 150+ shipping. I paid 80 for this one. Should I wait(maybe untill June!) and get a new one. or would You use this if you were me.
Ill get more pics tomorrow, Im going to dye check it at work tomorrow and then well really see where the cracks go. Im also going to ask our machinest forman what he thinks.
