Thanks to everyone for all the suggestions and advice;
I finally got my computer back, up and running with Bluetooth operational so I can include a couple more photos.
This is pretty much what I have decided to try. I will probably first, use some epoxy to fix the handle in place and then diagonally drill holes through the glue joint, put some JB Weld in the holes and insert a steel rod in the holes. If that does not hold then I will break down and buy a new fender cover for it.
The reason for all this is that the mower was gifted to me by my daughter and S.I.L, is in really nice shape and I feel obligated to keep it that way. Besides it is the best mowing machine I have ever operated.
This what the good side looks like
By the way, I tried the acetone to see if it would soften the broken edges. It didn't do a thing. But it sure did a good job of cleaning off the epoxy putty that I tried first.
Thanks again everyone for all the help.
