[QUOTE="TriHonu, post: 30126, member: 897"] The angle won't hurt anything (other than your pride...[IMG]https://www.skidsteerforum.com/DesktopModules/AdverForums/ImageGallery/emotion-2.gif[/IMG]). Heat it up and smack it with a sledge hammer. The brother and I spent a half hour yesterday straightening a Bobcat auger bit. The owner got stuck while augering fence post holes and used the auger to push himself out. He put a nice bend in the shaft tube above the flighting and below the mounting hub. It was bent enough to make it unusable. We chained it to the floor and put the torch to it. The brother ran the torch and I put a bar in the collar and worked out the bend. We had to heat and reposition 4 times to get it straight and dent free. Brother wanted to just cut out the bend and weld in a new piece of pipe, where is the challenge in that? [/QUOTE]
