You need a new handle bail. JB weld usually won't last very long

Could be......

welded....depends on the material. Probably not worth the effort if parts are available.

Where

Do any of you know where to get one, it has switch in it

 

[vacuumlad1650]

Check ebay.

Anybody have a part number? My parts books are still packed away from the move

Pot metal or aluminum? Aluminum can be welded.

 

[real1shep]

Pot metal.....

can be welded too with enough surface area.....but you REALLY have to know what you're doing.I've seen it done.

Aluminum is easy with a good TIG welder.

But unless you know someone in the biz, or a welder personally, shops charge like $100/hr plus these days. So like I said before, it may not be worth it. Scour eBay for a donor or part.
