previous "repairs" we deal with when restoring our tractors

[alleyyooper]

Pony radis rod.
Just welded to the tube.

The pacer has extra suport brace of flat stock.

This is the front end I bought at a auction sale. It had been used by the Village of Cliford and used ruff. Radis rods are totaly gone and rebuilt with angle iron.

They also managed to break the casting that held the axel to the frame.

LOL... A clump of mud that turned out to be a weld...
Can't get that visual out of my head...!

Ya, I tried to knock the clump with hammer then realized WTF,,,its welded to frame. Whatever engine they were trying to install also required the driveshaft be shortened. The same skill level was used resulting in a driveshaft cobbled together with Bubblegum welds and a bend in shaft like a hound dogs hind leg. My old IHC was the victim of these atrocities
A section of firewall had also be cut out with hand shears. Must have be some powerful hands!

This tractor has been victimized as well!

Is the pitman arm (middle) all welded up too..?

Unfortunately, they're nla, and nearly impossible to find.

Adam, I believe that the pitman arm can be cleaned up by a real machinist / welder. If it was down here I know I could do it. It just takes time and some old fashioned skill.

I might know where there's a whole axle with a bad spindle I could possibly get for parts, just haven't looked into it too much yet.

My super c was attacked by a crazy guy ferret with a stick welder.

I just looked at the pictures. You misspelled ferret.

And a welding helmet with flames on the side. Don

Or a skull face on it.

Ford Model As and such did so much better of a job of it. The rod terminated in a casting which bolted to the axle.
