Just go for the replacement part. I had one of those and patched the hopper in a couple of places with plastic pieces I cut from an old plastic mortar mixing trough and pop riveted into place. But that wasn't for the rounded portion. Although those things have a 10 hp. engine, I always thought it was kind of wimpy but did a good job on light stuff. I sold it & got an old Bearcat I reconditioned. It was better with only a five hp. engine. The hammers have safety spring clips to keep them from coming undone. If you take it apart, check them & replace them if need be. I sold mine for $200. If you can locate an old one for cheap with the part you need in decent condition, that might be an option, but $75 isn't bad.
