Yes, I figured id give it a shot finding a used set but if not i will fix the broken set. One side broke right off and in the process the other arm got bent. It is also broke where the cylinder pins into the arm . The one that is broke right off is straight but im worried about trying to straighten the bent one.If you can't get hold of a used set of arms, have you thought about fixing the old ones? it can be down with some time and effort.
I admit, a good used set is far easier!
Good point, if it was just broken it wouldn't be a big deal, but straightening a bend is a little harder.Yes, I figured id give it a shot finding a used set but if not i will fix the broken set.

If you can repair tie beoken cylinder mount first. Then you may be able to use the hydraulics on the machine th push it back into position. MikeGood point, if it was just broken it wouldn't be a big deal, but straightening a bend is a little harder.
Good luck in your search.
If the one side dropped and bent the other. Support the broken side with something and push down with the boom enough to twist it back to straightIf you can repair tie beoken cylinder mount first. Then you may be able to use the hydraulics on the machine th push it back into position. Mike
What i figured happend was that the one side broke off first straight and then the other side was left holding. The operator then went and was back blading and hooked the bucket on the broken side so it bent the other side sideways. its twisted aswell as bent really bad off to the side which pretty much caved in the tubing. I will post some pictures just so you guys can take a look. I might just get a newer machine in the meantime and fool around with fixing this later. thanks for the suggestions!If the one side dropped and bent the other.
