[QUOTE="vinito, post: 95519, member: 12954"] It's been a long dry spell. Haven't had a minute of free time for weeks now. But today some progress was made finally. The lift arms were just clapped out, so now the ball joint ends and the cylinder bolt hole have been replaced with new minty steel. It's been quite the rarity with this project to be able to say anything at all is “done”, but it looks like at least the lift arms are at least structurally complete. It was a simple project, but it just took forever to get around to it. Just needs paint now. I wasn't very good at taking pics today, but I can snap some “after” pics later and show you how it turned out. The following one is a shot of grinding the culinder mount tube off in preparation for welding a new replacement in. The new part was a simple lathe project - pretty much a straight steel bushing.
