Working on the 1572 #2
 

Started Work on The 1572 #2. Put new CV joint drive shaft, Rear brace. Found A crack in the frame :bash2:.

Good job! Hope you can get the frame repaired easily.

Good catch on the crack. You should be able to V that out and weld it. The brace should also help prevent future problems. Looks like the crack started at the point that the lip on the bottom that is bent inwards stops on the frame.

Looking good :beerchug:

Did a little more thinking about the cracked frame. You could use a piece of 1/4" flat bar stock drilled for the 4 bolt holes in this pic and weld it to the front mount for the brace kit. I outlined the area that I would reinforce in red and the place I'd weld in green.

Looking great, real nice work.

Thanks ever one. I have A guy come look at it to see if he can weld It .

Looking good Jason. Might want to do as Sam suggested but looks like horizontal crack too. Always a good idea to drill a hole at the ends of the crack, v it, and then do the welding.

As just suggested I would also drill a small hole at both ends of the crack before welding it. We had to do that when the frames would get cracks on our helicopters in the Marines.

Got my frame welded up. As long as I was painting . I sanded and painting the hole frame. Not the best paint job but looks better then the one it had .

Looking good, Jason!

thank you Allen

Looking real nice. That will be one sweet smoker!

I did the same to a 1211,used a lot of tape.
Coming along mighty fine!

Thanks looks better then it did

Thanks The guy before the guy I got from. Didn't tape much off he just paint .

Got little more done today 1572 . Put rear pto back on . I hope to be done with it tomorrow.

I put little pieces of rubber on the bolts on the tranny that the tank rest on.

Looking GOOD! I see a CV drive shaft, a set of rear end braces, most of a rear PTO and 3 point hitch. Should be a sweet machine when your done. :beerchug:

Thanks everyone Now on to Other Things . put 126 back together after some one was going to make a puller out of it :bash2:.

Ah, why do people do that?

There was a 126 listed in the area a week or two ago, it was sitting in the dirt, tires flat, and not clear what it was. My tractor kitty's empty so I wasn't looking seriously. It dawned on me a while later what it was so I went to look at the listing again and it was gone already. Wonder who got it. Would have been a perfect compliment to the 147.
