Before you get into it too far, read the info provided at Practical Machinist web site.

I think it tells you everything pertaining to the Champion 400 blower you will encounter.
As long as your bronze gear isnt too worn you have a verry nice blower.
Somewhere I saw pictures of a shop made bracket to hold this type blower.
If you need to make one I could find were I saw it.

Mine had been broken the same way.
I cleaned the broken areas up real good with a wire wheel and welded in a series of tack welds with a mig welder.
It wasnt the most beautifull repair but it was solid and has held up well.
Welding that broken tab is optional will work just fine without being welded.
