Sno plow - Rod link (Broken)

[Phan 46]

A rod link on snow low C160 - was broken. How can I replace it?

[Achto 30,070]

A piece of round stock, a vise, a drill & a thread die would be my cure. 

 

Could weld it back together? 

 

A post in the wanted adds might work.

Thanks you, Achto! I just took for another one for a replacement.

@Phan  firm up the connections with washers  and grease , for solid smooth operation . would also go after  any other  linkage , dry / sloppy spot  , related linkage /  levers can / should move easily  , only a suggestion , pete

You might be better going with an eye-bolt and some chain. I think that's what Wheel Horse ended up doing in production.

There may have even been a service bulletin to that affect.

@Bar Nuthin  agree with you on the  eye bolt / chain  idea , another good lifting  source idea , is the garage door  flat holed lift bar , pretty cheap  , very rugged , like to make things up , eliminate the  failure  , and make it  very smooth . thought my horse was solid , till  I eliminated repetitive problems , thats when  it  gets very solid , and things just consistently work . pete
