Minor tractor repair

admin

So the father in law busted the spindle on his crapsman mower.   It popped two welds and bent a seam wide open causing him to have steering issues and other problems.   He swung threw on his way home from their camp. he uses the same mower at both locations, hence the abuse it gets.I don't have before pics but I have some after pics.  The pics I have do not show the crack on the underside, it was twisted forward and about 1" wide at the seam. These pics are of the assembly process.  I tore down the entire left side of the wheel setup and spindle to get good clean welds in.  The top one is a bit goobered up but other than that, they look fine.Don't mind the guy in the pic, my father in law.   He was at least impressed with my work, he is a welder/fitter.Come try it out and stay a while.

Reply:Nice repair rustywrangler! Is that a murray? Kind of reminds me of ours (17hp 42" murray) which i've been planning to add front/rear bumpers to in order to increase it's usefulness and just plain ol' work on my fabrication/welding skills . . . or lack there of I like the use of the trailer spare as a repair stand, first time it's been used for something else other than a spare? lolMikeConstans Fides et IntegritasLincoln Weldanpower 150 ACAirco Aircomatic MIGet CAV II w/ spoolgunMillermatic 30a wirefeeder
