Crippled my DK45...again!

[Coyote machine]

I took this pic Monday afternoon and it shows the major broken parts. I now have the tire off, so can probably get a better angle to document the damages.

Note that the only thing holding the wheel onto the tractor is the tie rod; every other connecting bit is broken!

So noted!

An update: Out of service for 6 weeks, but all the parts finally came in and we were able to get a guy with a portable welding rig back into the woods to weld the steering mount back onto the end of the cylinder on Saturday. It was kinda chilly getting everything back together out in the wind, but it seems to be functional again...I'm expecting to do a lot more of my work on trails manually in the future, though (under orders from SWMBO).
Its about time to take off the tooth bar and hook up the snowblower...

Geez man you gotta go buy a lottery ticket. You're due some good luck. By the way, sorry you can't borrow my tractor! LOL
