Absolutely you can. Epoxy it, plasti-weld it, Gorilla tape it...just get it closed to the elements and as stated, keep all "fixing" materials out of the inside...

If you're not going to replace the cover, I would recommend JB Weld Steel Stick instead of common epoxy. You just shape it close to what you need and tap it in flat and let it cure. You can drill it or tap it. It's that strong. You can get it at any Home Depot, or Amazon, or many parts stores carry it. It will be stronger than the surrounding area.

@Hamfisted is the Steelstik much different or better than standard JB, and is it sandable after it cures? Thanks
More like grindable.

Yes, it's sandable, fileable, drillable, paintable. In this application he would need to make sure to file it flat so there's no interference with the pulley when he's done.

That's a big hole, may want to weld that up.
