Well....today our sand blasting was rained out after just getting setup. We will try again tomorrow.
So, while it was raining outside we decided to tackle some issues that have been sittin on the shelf. The front of the front axle support where the pin slides through, the single bolt in the pin was broke off. While trying to remove the broken bolt, the small plate under the pin came loose. I can find this section in any of the parts breakdowns or online. I have attached a pic of this part in my vise. It did have 3 small tack welds holding it to the main assy but they looked very weak and poorly done. Not to mention, I was able to break all 3 just trying to remove the broken bolt.
Is this part originally part of the main assy or was it added? I have attached a pic of the main axle assy with the small plate removed from the front of it. Do I need to clean up the welds and re-weld it back in place? Thanks for the help!
