Assessing the damage
Got out in the barn early this morning to see how bad the repairs is going to hurt. Looks like the hub is shot, the spindle is shot and I need a new fender. The tire is ruined but, on the positive side, the rim is good. I'm headed back out and am going to remove the axle and take it to my brothers, who it a machinist and industrial welder, to see if he can point me in the right direction. Once he sees it I'll decide whether to try and get a new spindle welded on or look into a new axle.
All input is welcome.
Man, this is gonna be some expensive walleye.
