I would be more concerned about the pinion teeth spalling on its length.The pinion has a small chunk taken out of it. Is this worth worrying about? It's not directly in the face of the tooth. Finding a replacement pinion might be a problem.

I'm confused? Is there something more in that picture I sent that I didn't see? Or are you referring to a different problem that can happen?I would be more concerned about the pinion teeth spalling on its length.
Well here's the problem with determining its history. One it has no hour meter and two it came from rickety brothers. All I know is someone painted it green and that's it.The teeth show some case cracking/crushing type of damage on one side and it looks like a wear line on the other side. I'd probably check on price and availability and then consider the future of the machine.
It's pretty normal to do the torque converter when ever you have the transmission out but certainly isn't a requirement. I'd look at operating history for things like overheating or maybe oil sample trending upward on aluminum as part of the decision process. Amount of hours on the component would certainly be a consideration.
Difficult. Trying to keep thrust bearings in place with the converter vertical is a feat.Here's a question. How hard is the TC to do with the trans in place?
