Oh, man, that's a bummer! You ought be able to either make, or have made, a replacement crank though.

That's why when I want coffee, I just HOLLER as loud as can can "COFFEEEEE, WOMAN" Until she brings me some.

Or, more likely, til I get tired of yelling.

Haha, if i did that she would hit me so hard i would be in worse shape than that crank :-)

I was once working overtime on an emergency repair as a machinist's helper in a refinery, and we had to stand around waiting for the engineers to decide what to do. While we were waiting  my machinist took a bent lawn mower crank from his locker, chucked it in the lathe, heated it, gave it only a few strategic raps, and it was straight again. "Lucky," he said, but I was still impressed enough to remember it from some 53 years ago....
