No wise cracks (no pun intended ) to be made here .....that's potentially disastrous
Maybe take it to good metal fab shop with a TIG and have them grind into the cracks and
tig it back up .....see if it'll stop further progression & hold
Seems a fair bit of sag around the bearing though.....& that may well be the culprit
shaft slapping from 8 oclock to 2oclock.
That bearing needs to come out too ..........must check the manual see how it's all setup
Is that a chip of the casing missing at 3 oclock ? Damn .....don' want to tell ya what ya don't
need to hear .....this would ruin my Sat morning
So ya got try and figure ......what made the bearing bite the dust

I'm inclined to go with Sprock said.
It would be worthwhile to at least take a magnifying glass to those cracks (there seem to be a number of them radiating away from the primary shaft)
Fortunately it's not major surgery to remove the clutch now and again, so keeping an eye on it is what I'd do.

2) Need to order this Crack Dye stuff as nobody in my ****hole area would know what it was
3) Need to bug my father again to hold the clutch basket while I torque the nut down
