[QUOTE="B&M Farms, post: 1047910, member: 15666"] "My mistake was supposed to be pins 3 pins were $500.00. Yea my guy came said he would rather cut it off and reweld a piece on there. He will get on it this week sometime meanwhile my mechanic said he would like to try and heat it and see if it will move I told him go ahead try it if you want. dun you are correct about that." If you heat that plate hot enough to straighten it, it will never have the same strength and probably crack out somewhere else. Thats why your welder wants to cut it out and replace it. I could cut out a new plate and bushings for the pin and weld it in probably as fast as trying to straighten that one so the pin will fit like it is supposed to. And the arm needs drilled and tapped for a new grease zerk if the old threads are bad.
