I have an Elgin (Sears) 7.5 made by West Bend showing the same failure mode. The gearcase has been substituted, and a weld bead run around the rear of the housing where that one also apparently had a failure of the rear bearing retention. The gearcase where it mates to the leg has a slightly different shape but the combination seems to work mechanically. Of course the gear ratios could be different and I haven’t checked that out yet. Of course, this doesn’t answer your question directly. Many people have gotten good service from these motors…..
