Hi gang.
I'm a new owner of a Mahindra 2615 4WD w/ ML106 FEL. I'm hoping to salvage an old heavy duty 5' rotary cutter that my dad has. The cutter is old, but in good shape except for the front of the deck is bent down just enough that the blades hit it. I don't know how my dad managed to do it, but the front of the deck is bent down all the way across including where the verticle braces attach that go up to the hitch points. We've been comtemplating how to repair it. Here's what we've come up with:
<ul type="square">[*]Relocate to an area where a torch is available (or bring a torch to it).
[*]Attach "come-alongs" to the hitch points (or on the vertical braces) and to the back of the deck (or some of the vertical bracing at the back of the deck)
[*]Slowly heat the deck at the bend while simultaneously...
[*]Tighten the come-alongs slowly
[/list]
Does this sound like it would work? Any other ideas?
Thanks,
BR
