Was the torsion housing the only thing that broke? It looks like it can be welded fairly easy. |

Ouch!!!, that sucks! Looks like you can weld it, but it will not hold as good when welded, but you can add gussets around it to get by, but would'nt hurt to try to repair it. Worst case scenario is replacing the whole clip. Sorry for the bad luck. If you get it fixed, come on down to the Cold Spot. |

It's easier to fix than that. I'm going to machine a piece of solid round with a big champher that we can drive into the housing, lining it back up and then weld it up soild. Be ready to run next week. |

sorry to hear it--it wasnt the same tree was it--if so a chainsaw might be in order |
|

No it wasn't but I hit the same tree every time, so the chainsaw just might get used. |
