I was trail mowing when the front tire broke through a small rusted culvert. Put the bucket down lifted the tractor and inched out. Thought everything was ok then in about a half mile I put the bucket down and the whole front end started to move.
So the large cast front mount is cracked up and destroyed. I have only a few pieces of it. The good news is I had down pressure on the bucket and it looks as if the rear mount and the tie rod arms and controller look good.
Questions?
Has this happened to anyone else and how did you fix it?
It looks as if this piece bolts off the tractor? Can someone steer me where i might find one?
Is this a weak spot on the tractor and is there a way to fab a stronger fix with the broken piece I have?
Thanks for all your replies in advance....PS I am just sick...
