With my luck, I'd damage the case and other parts if I tried to straighten that. Easier to make a replacement pin than to repair a case, etc.

Mine had no bearings. Just steel shafts on cast. That is not unusual, but when things get rusty, it really locks up hard. If yours turns, then you have a great start.

On the picture where the broken cast is missing, I can not get my bearings on where it's located. Can you get another pic or 2 of that are? Thanks. I will go look at mine if I need to.
