Today, I inspected her again for more damage. And just stared in disbelief she is still in one piece.
Tomorrow, collect estimates to determine whether she will survive the insurance company.

WTF?! This reminds me of the scene in American Graffiti where they put a chain around the cop's axle. I'd love to know the backstory here.

Sheared two of three high steer arm bolts. Chad hooked me up with a Mcgyver fix.
Got some fixing to do, because I got more wheeling to do!
That's not really a piece of hot rolled flat bar is it?
The arm is stamped Dynatrac, and use to be an actual production piece for them. It's been modified a bit for this axle setup, which is why the end appears to be square cut (arm was drilled at 6" for the draglink, and the excess was cut off). During the rebuild process, I've learned quite a few interesting things about this setup. While I wouldn't call it ideal, it has held up for 15 years of use. With fresh hardware evenly torqued I'm not too worried about it.
However, my long term solution should be arriving, Thursday. :greensmok
