Re: Hogshead
If that chunk fell into the transmission you have to get it out of there. Probably best to get another hogshead.

Re: Hogshead
If you have one that’s better perhaps. First get the broken piece out, if you can’t the hogshead needs to come off anyway. If you don’t have another, can you braze? You might be able to run some flat stock and scab a piece on the underside. You’d have to locate and mark where you’d need to drill and tap for the middle screw before you place it in the hogshead. Those ideas are assuming you don’t have another hogshead. I’m sure others have better ideas.

Re: Hogshead
Another hogshead would be easiest. The god of all welders here would have me make a patch piece of flat steel stock to fit the repair, most likely to include enough material to allow the cover screw hole to be included in the patch piece. His opinion is that a brazed in steel patch is a better repair than trying to braze two pieces of cast iron. Less chance of subsequent break-out.

Re: Hogshead
If possible try to find another transmission cover. And if you do don’t throw away your broken one.
It can be repaired by brazing and would probably be OK since it’s not in a strain position like an ear or etc.
Ck for other cracks of course if you repair it.
Just remember transmission covers aren’t being reproduced. Check with Model T Haven if you can’t find one.

Re: Hogshead
I live about 200 miles north of you in case you get a hankering to head north. I've got several 26-27, a few older hogsheads

Re: Hogshead
Isn't anyone curious as to how/why that happened? That is a "no stress" location. What would do that? Were you using hex head bolts to hold the cover on, and did you maybe tighten the bolts excessively enough to break out the threaded hole and pop out a chunk like that? Otherwise, I'm thinking something might be tumbling around inside your transmission and crashed into the edge of the opening, breaking off the chunk.
BTW, sneaking your fuel line in between the pan arm and hogshead will eventually lead to the fuel line being rubbed through and leaking.

Re: Hogshead
When we removed it yesterday another chunk fell off below the starter hole on the corner bolt hole. Yes it has hex head bolts and that one could have been tightened to much. I have another one on the way.
