Looks like you've got it straight now

Looks just fine from here ..... now!
Nice job at resuscitation!!!

It Lives! The crank was dog legged on both sides and bent across the crankpin but at least the main bearing bores were still inline. Flywheels were buckled too. Thanks for the insipration guys.

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....
I wish I would have taken a video of my grandpa's cousin straightening my H Farmall's pto shaft... it was bent to roughly a 45 degree angle, I thought there was no fixing it and it was an earlier/harder to find 1 1/8" shaft. Same thing, gave it a little heat, tweaked it here and there and it was straighter than an arrow :o We lost him this past year, gonna miss having him around!

Put that crank in a chuck and straighten it...!!!
It will rise from the great beyond...!!!

OOOPS!! :'(
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 :-)

Dang it....don't ya hate it when it does that !! ..would deff wreck my millennium !....But don't scrap it too quickly as assuming it may be diy fixable using some simple, proven old-school methods !! Surely it can be carefully coached (or big club banged) back to usable form. Good luck with gettin 'er back to H&Ming,...tom.

My M90 had been happily running on the bench in the same spot for 10 minutes, until i left the room to get coffee.
The moment i left there came a loud crash and then deadly silence...he had jumped from the bench landing on the concrete floor below.
At least death was instant, he did not suffer.
RIP my little Chinese chum
