- Bent and cracked PTO lever
After looking at a picture of what it is supposed to look like, I straightened it out to make a pattern. I also found a suitable donor (mower blade) to make it out of.
- Flattened lever and donor material
I cut out the material, fine tuned the shape and drilled the mounting and spring holes. I also brazed a grade 8 washer on each side of the pull rod hole to cut down on the wear.
- Roughed out
- The final product next to the original
I'm pretty happy with the results.
New project is a new battery tray as there was only rusted ends left.
