'95 vintage New Holland Lx485 got dropped off today with a boom pivot point fatigue failure. I'm trying to figure out what happened and what needs done to fix it so it won't fly back apart...
The yellow bar's bottom pivot has about 3/4" of slop in it.
The yellow bar is cracked out too
Trying to figure out how to hold the boom pin so it's concentric with the other sides pin before welding it back together. I have a tow truck to pop the boom off so that's not too big an issue. It's used for farm duty, usually handling round hay bales for the animals.
Any suggestions other than run?
