My redneck fix is by know means a pretty fix. But it is still
holding up on the 415 and just did it on the 475.
If you want some pics of the final stage I can get those. But
the part where I mended, laced together, stitched the 2 parts
with the #12 copper wire is all under the last stage of fix.

Actually I had read about your fix and saw the pictures of the
415 that you repaired. I believe is was broken the same way by
shipping and in the same spot. Really a shame, but that is one
of the reasons I decided to start welding on these magesium
cases, because things happen to good saws. Oh by the way I know
you had done alot of work on some 3750's and I believe you had 3
at one time. I am looking for another one myself so if you come
across something I am in the market. Roger

The 415 was smashed by a tree on only it's 3rd time being used
by a homeowner user just like me.
He then tried to have it welded but whoever did it just made
the metal brittle and it just fell apart around welded area aka
blew a big hole through it basically.
I bought the 415 saw as a box of parts so I didnt have nothing
to loose trying my redneck fix.
3750 what shape are you wanting? You wanting TA editions
purple covers or just a plain 3750 with black covers?

Anything that has a good cylinder. I believe I could find the
rest of the parts fairly easy. So if you come across something
let me know.
I did not know that about the 415 I thought it was broke in
shipping also. Well anyways thanks alot.

I moved most of the 3750 info with part numbers over to 3750
thread.
Pic of 415. The weld just crumbled off taken some more case
with it ( Someone tried to weld it before I got the box of
parts, it didnt hold, it is just set there for pic). My redneck
wire job and fix is still cutting it today.
I'll get some pics of my ugly fixes on 415 475 later today.

Since were showing some welding this is a before and after I did
today. I believe it is a 5200 clutch cover. The pitting is
very shallow in the pics and will fill in easily and will not
affect the integrity of the metal.

Redneck fixes.
Here is the 415. You can see the lighter grey JB I used on this
one to help fill the voids that was blown through both pieces on
the attempted weld. It is wired together underneath then JB and
then the steel putty.

Copper #12 house wire I found works really well and is mend-able
to form around. About 2" pieces at a time.

Project 475. No JB was needed on this one. Just drill holes,
wire and steel putty = redneck fix. ;D

Must be nice to be able to weld. 8) 8)
I have a very old stick welder for emergency repairs and then it
looks like chicken poop. But as long as it holds I'm a happy
camper.

Your fix looks to be strong and holding it together so that in
the end the saw can still be used. It gets the job done.
