This is not the same as a Moldex crank. Moldex cranks are made from a
solid billet.
In order of strength:
cast
cast: nitrided
forged
(forged:nitrided)
billet
Cost is directly proportional to strength.
But a new crank for a tractor TR is a good thing regardless. If your
rules don't allow billet cranks - a forged replacement crank would be
within the spirit of the rules... besides, aren't original cast TR2-4A
cranks getting hard to come by??
