Folks, under further examination of my new toy i had noticed there are hairline cracks in the cast iron of the front axle. I believe from this diagram it is part #6.
FRONT_AXLE_2WD: Yanmar Tractor Parts
The cracks appear to have rust on them so they may very well be old. I did notice a crack on each side of the axle located next to part #10.
If i get in a bind in soft dirt/mud is there a possibility of this breaking all the way? Can this be welded instead of replaced?
Any comments is welcome.
Thanks,
Jack
