It's an interesting way to connect the final drive gear, a blast from the past. Certainly a good idea to check the other side at this time and maybe upgrade to both sides too.
It's also interesting to see the evolvement of the final drive that Armortek made with two piece part changing to a one piece part, so much better.
I hope a new piece can be matched off the Armortek stores shelf.
Many a time I would argue with my own factory stores to keep old spares for still in service equipment on the shelf. Their argument would be after three years unless "insurance stock" the parts would be on notice for the skip container outside.
Their argument was that spares cost shelf space. My argument was no spares, especially obsolete spares cost down time and possible new investment.
Hey what do I know? Other than if you ain't got the parts, it's difficult to fix.
