Tearing my motor down and found the gear on the crankshaft is chipped and cracked. At first I thought they cut the gear on the crank! But apparently it seems to be a press/interference fit? Correct?

Yes, it is lightly pressed in.
59051-1128 is the part number.
I don't have the size of the shaft that goes into the crank.
So, if it breaks off while removing, just order a new one (If you haven't already) and when it comes in measure it.
Then get a drill that is a little smaller and go for it
Let us know the results..

I'm going to weld a nut on, heat the crank a little and try to slide hammer it out.

That will work as well...
There are always lots of ways to repair

Very nice.
You can certainly weld a lot better then me.
Most of the time guys break them off which is why they need to replace them
Great job!
