Ok here ya go , not sure how good the pictures are but it cracked along an old repair that definitely wasnt fully penetrated. We pulled it apart this morning in about 6 hrs between 2 guys , 3rd guy showed up for last bit of it and boom removal, we managed it with our service trucks but really wished there was another excavator in the yard.
(IC weld )on YouTube repaired one, check it out
I used to work at a demo company they broke at least one boom and a stick or 2 a year when the in house weld shop was done you barely could tell it was repaired. Hard sayyen when or who attempted this last weld job its been retired from the grading side for along time. Welder coming monday morning now that it is off and stripped down he will decide whether its fixed or replaced. Iron peddlers have 2 booms in stock down the road if we replace it.

I have 2 available if need be at iron peddlers 20 minutes from the shop. Owner really doesnt like them after a few issues. We still use them but its rare, he closed the acct so we have to take a check now. I think he would rather give his money to other people. But welder will check it out monday and tell him yay or nay. Im hoping for nay so i can get a boom back on it this week and back out clearing stumps.
Whats is it going in ?
My buddies pickup truck that has no money this is gonna be a serious scab a hual project. I did just pick up a 400 sbc to play with in my 78 nova till i have a shop and totally rebuild the car and build a blower engine for it . I will rebuild the 400 proper with a mild cam.
I have helped alot of buddys. A so called buddy has a Dodge pickup he came buy the shop and it wasnt idling very good i thought for a cheap quick fix i would try and turn the idle up but it had a cover that needed drilled out to get to the screw i did this and for over a year its been working ok. He got it in his head now that i did something that has messed up the Throttle body. The other day it wouldnt start i went and hauled it back to shop and replaced the crank posisson censor that got it running now he says its makeing a noise that we caused.
Forget which shop I was at, think it was the place that worked on one of the companies truck cranes, large P&H. Well service manager was shaking his head about problem he was having with the head manager in the state for our company. Seems this shop had fixed something on the crane and now a completely different part of it was causing problems. This (mis)manager from the company I worked for was pulling the "But you just had it in the shop and said it was fixed BS!"
Last I knew the guy our pain in the butt worked under, all puns intended, had his office in Allentown/Easton area.It’s not what you know it’s who you blow.
2 bolt, its been so long since i have been into a presumably untouched engine , i know the pan had been off for sure at one time in its life .
