But I had a little fix project the other day. My neighbor brought his chip truck over to look at the brakes. While he was crawling around underneath, he noticed the hoist was broke.
The tube is supposed to swivel with the cylinder, but was seized and the flexing cracked the 5/8" plate the cylinder attaches to. We tried the heat and beat method to free it, but had no success so I split the tube and pulled it out.
I figured there was no point in trying to weld the plate back together so I made a new piece.
Rust all cleaned off and tacked back in place.
I suppose it was kind of a fine line between getting good penetration and sticking it to the tube inside it, but it still swiveled when I got done.
I also fixed a few missing zerks and pumped a ton of grease in it so hopefully no more issues.. And maybe brakes this weekend.
