No. I did tweak the quick release lever.

Since I didn't have any heat handy, no amount of banging on it with a 10 pound hammer made it move, and so I resorted to extra-ordinary measures to bend it back.

I love it when a plan comes together!

Today's calamity was a nail in my front left tire. Small hole but I know nothing about fixing heavy equipment tires so I need to find out if I can plug it like a radial tire, or patch it like a bias ply tire.

My drama is different than your drama.

Later on in the same day, running the Wicked Root Grapple at night feeding the fire.

I may have them do it! Although I did glass replacement myself on my skidsteer a and other equipment!! It's fairly easy not like a car at all! The door is fairly straightforward just. It and bolt all on and restretch rubber around glass

You can plug like normal tire! But you have them filled?? As long as you didn't out a tube in you can plug it

I made a few videos of the burning.

Before 60 hours of burning we hatched the plan to start the fire.

Not everything goes according to plan.

Wow, Eric, what kind of bench is that vise attached to?

A few weeks ago I managed to bend a 1/2"-thick skid-shoe mounting bracket on a Woods HBL84 scrape blade. I backed into the corner of a frozen retaining timber while moving snow. Was thinking of doing something like you did, with the blade still mounted, using a come-along for fine control and some heat. I'll post up a separate thread on that for suggestions when I have a chance to snap some pics.
