I'd say about 75% of it came off, so about 25% is left. Only one of the
bolt holes in the ring is still on there. I suppose a custom washer like
you describe would work. It would raise that mower blade up a little
compared to the others. Not sure how much of an issue that would be.
Anyone have fairly exact dimensions of the ring, so I could make a washer?
:)
I could measure one of my unbroken ones, but if need to take it off the
tractor. So maybe synergist already has those measurements.
Thanks!
Mike

Did the entire ring come off, or just a chunk come out? If say 75% still
there, may work to put a reinforcing ring on top and sandwich things
back together. The reinforcing ring is basically a custom washer that
matches the motor flange dimensions.
