The rear axle tore out of the tube welded to the combine. Dropped the rear right wheel into a tile hole. I don't think it bent or broke the axle with the wheels. The axle is laying between the combine shoe and the chopper. The shaft that goes into the outer tube is still intact to the rear axle. When it pulled out it did tear open the outer tube welded to the combine. When I reach in to the tube I can feel the front and there seems to be some torn metal in there as well. I believe this is the standard rear axle and not the heavy duty. I have some questions ...
1) What is the best way to raise the rear of the combine so I can get some blocks under the rear frame? Just looking for how someone might have done it without digging a big hole.
2) Can I put the axle back in on a short term basis using a chain and binder to hold it in while moving it slowly to the shop? Any other ways to move it????
3) How have people fixed this situation when the rear axle is ripped out of the combine? Seems to me the damage could be straighten and reinforced or could the tube be cut out and another welded into the combine????
Any other information would be appreciated pertaining to the rear axle. Fortunately I was able to work most of the day with another combine. Thank you for repair information.
