In my eyes the only option would be to have it welded. You would want a welder the realy knows what he is doing.

The universal answer to all questions is yes, how much do you want to spend?

I thought about making a threaded carbon rod, and screw it into a pre-heated block. Weld it with nickel rod, slow the cooling down, and clean it up when cool. I figured there would be several opinions on the fix, but I guessed wrong.Tracy Martin

If shipping wasn't an issue, buying my block that needs a $40 sleeve installed could have been a viable option......sigh...

Short of a replacement used block, I think this would be the only way to be able to use the drawbar again |

Joe, it was a weak point for sure. Loose bolts are what caused these problems or failure of front attaching pivot. Seems every other one is cracked or repaired. Alot of trouble to fix properly. Tracy Martin
