562xp clutch drum

[Acerforestry]

Just a question, based on what you can see from the two attached images of the 562 clutch drum - does it look to you like the pitting and marks on it would be consistent with a unit that was new, off the shelf - and had been used for less than two hours? I know sometimes new old stock can look less than perfect

I don't understand the question, it looks like the sprocket carrier broke off it to me.

Yes I would agree poorly stored ( should be in a box wrapped in oily paper ) but I would not have thought that would be the cause of the sprocket carrier separating from the drum .  Faulty weld / crimp/spin ( however they are joined ) perhaps ? They are about £ 40 odd notes . Take the fecker back .

Ok thanks for the comments, I'm certainly glad the general opininion is new anyway

It should have come in the factory plastic bag with the company "H" logo all over it and have the white sticky label with the part code and bar code on it. I have never seen a new sprocket look like that before.

It looks just like the picture on all the sales website. Where did it come from ?
