Rock shaft arm
How do you straighten a rock shaft arm? It's so long that a hammer just flexes it or could do more damage. Is there repairs being done?

Re: Rock shaft arm
If this is the part you are looking to repair, I'd use a hydraulic press.

Re: Rock shaft arm
Agree with Don, But I usually drive to the nearest tree for balance, stand on the rockshaft and bounce up and down a couple times. Has always worked for me. I know, I know...trust me, if it ever happens, y'all won't hear about it!

Re: Rock shaft arm
This is the rear rockshaft arm. It has quite the curve.

Re: Rock shaft arm
I straightened one out that was in similar condition by sliding it over the drawbar with the back side of the bend resting on the drawbar and the end under my grader blade them putting some serious down pressure (me) on the end. Did not come out perfect, but not too bad.

Re: Rock shaft arm
Break out the oxy acetylene if you got it and heat it up, makes it bend a lot easier.
Tractors are like watermelons: the RED is good and you throw away the GREEN.

Re: Rock shaft arm
We have straightened many with our large table vice on our outdoor worktable. Torch could be used to help, but try not to.
