Stripped Threads 10 Mil Crank

[robert0762]

So i just got a 10 mil billt crank off of ebay. guy says it is a twister but there is no markings on it. I get it today take it out to look at it and the threads on the pto side have been stretched . They are not horrible but I dont feel safe with it . Can this be repaired or does it need a whole new pto web ? I got a good deal on the crank but if its a 4-5 hundred dollar repair i mite as well just go buy a new one . Crank works said they wont rethread it just put a new web wich is 350 dealer price.

If it doesn't have the twister logo laser etched on the crank, its NOT a twister crank. I wouldn't risk running it with the threads stretched. Just get it rebuilt with a new PTO side web. I would go ahead and have crankworks rebuild it for you.

 

Here is a twister crank for your reference. If you don't want to mess with it, I would go back to the ebay seller and make them take it back. If they advertised it as a twister and its not, and the pto threads are jacked up, you need to ask yourself if you even want to mess with it.
