BX2751 Sub Frame.... is this bend normal?

[Jabroni]

I got my sub frame out today in preparation for the arrival of the snowthrower. I noticed that one of the "rings" that will hold the shaft assembly appears to be bent. I took a picture of it looking directly down on it. Is that the way it's suppose to look? The sub frame is used and came with my plow.

Update: My dealer called to tell me that the snow thrower is ready to be delivered. The bent bearing bulkhead was easily straightened with a pneumatic impact hammer. Can't wait to see this!
