I had an interesting development as I was continuing to clear my property of blown down trees. I was dragging a log behind me, and a viney-maple (at least that's what we call it), which is much like a willow (bend, no break) was causing issues beneath me...but I was unaware of the issue (couldn't see it). The next thing I know, the weld broke that held the lever to the pin on the sensitrack clutch assembly.
I headed in to the shop to take a look, and found that the pin looked like it crystalized, and broke right on the weld. Knowing the situation was kind of a "freak" event, and the lever you use to adjust the sensitrack doesn't move (for me...), I used JB Weld in an attempt to fix this easily. Needless to say, it didn't work (didn't think it would). For a permanent fix, I'm thinking I can re-drill the hole on the lever and reweld to the pin. The pin will now be about 1/8'' shorter...any known issues with this?
Thanks.
