Ridgid 14" Bandsaw Wheel

[HeloMech]

Anyone know if the upper wheel on a Porter Cable 14" bandsaw will fit a BS14002 14" Ridgid Bandsaw. I dropped my wheel putting on new tires this afternoon and busted a chunk of the wheel edge off. All the parts websites show it as unavailable and obsolete. Ereplacement has one available for a Porter Cable that is pretty much the same saw but the wheel design looks different.

Can you have a welder put the broken pieces back in or fill it? Then file it back into shape.

No, it's cast and the piece that broke off isn't round anymore. I've found that Jet and many others re-branded this same bandsaw. The current Harbor Freight BS looks very close but I can't find a place to buy replacement parts yet.
