Fred if you can't find a replacement crank, you can probably have the crank arm repaired using a threaded insert such as those produced by Heli-coil. The hole size in increased with a reamer or drill and then rethreaded to a slightly larger size to fit the thread insert. You have to search around. You may luck out and find a bike shop that has the proper tools and inserts. 9/16-20 isn't a very popular size outside of bicycle pedals but it may end up being cheap to go this route.

I'm looking for an old steel Stronglight cottered three arm crank, right side, minus chain rings. Not the one that says "marcus depose", but the cheaper one used on some old Raleighs that simply says "Stronglight". This is for an early 70s Super Course. I have left arm and chain rings, but pedal threads on the right side are toast.
