Oh Matt, all you had to do is find out how high it was dropped to the ground, turn it upside down and drop it again from the same height onto its roof and it would have fixed everything. Simple physics.

@@David_Bellows it costs man hours to diagnose it. Someone needs to devote qualified resources to the job. In an unknown state, the machine is an investment risk many can't afford to take. If the market was awash in these kinds of cases, there would be competition to pick them up. Matt and others with the know-how can't count on finds like this all the time, but if they keep their eyes open they'll get a deal now and then.

Of course it was a gamble that more was damaged than a noisy diesel. Matt was a great brother-in-law to make all the repairs! Frankly I would have that machine safely stored indoors. That’s too much “portable cash” for the wrong people. There’s a reason they hang them from cranes at job sites!

Nice work Matt, but going forward, always tighten any pivot point fastener (like the spring & shackle bolts) while under the load it will carry. You want to cinch that sleeve in the bushing where it will naturally sit, if you tighten it unloaded then you twist the bushing material when you load it and destroy it in a fraction of the time. Just loosen and re-tighten them when it’s all together on the ground and you’re good.

Better yet cut one side off a piece of square stock so it'll rest right on top easily. Stay safe and man o' man did your brother in law score a deal there - about 10% of the normal price...sweeeet!

Matt, it's so good to see stuff rescued from the scrap pile, like the tractor last week. Even machines like this welder often get trashed because somebody doesn't want to risk the investment to fix them. That's what happens when labor gets too expensive and stuff gets too cheap - we throw too much away, then replace it with cheaper junk. I often wonder about all the repairable things that go into landfills and other dead ends every day. Thank you for doing more than your share to use what we already have.

I honestly thought this unit would be in worse shape, like having a bent trailer frame at the very least. Fixing it up proper with brand new parts, and even doing a fresh service on it as well is really setting up your brother in law up for success! You must have a good relationship with him to be that thoughtful.

It looks like the tires, rims, axle and springs absorbed most of the shock, sacrificing to protect the rest! I just hope there isn't any internal damage that will cause premature wear or metal fatigue.

I'd say there is still a high chance it's tweaked a little. they don't really lose their shape until you separate them. found out the hard way myself and had to do a full swap, new trailer and body/frame.

Several years ago I knew a guy who worked for a place that built steel framed buildings. The crew would raise the welders up 20 feet with the cranes each night to prevent theft but someone just cut the cables let them fall and took what they could.

After a quick check on a couple of auction sites, it looks like that unit turned out to be a good deal, even after factoring in the undercarriage replacement costs on top of the auction price. I was surprised there wasn't more damage. I was sure the fan shroud looked like it was bent and needed more than just a couple of washers. Great job!

Great fix Matt! You remind me of a auto mechanic guy I met whom I bought a snowmobile trailer from. Super nice guy, even threw in an extra axle for me! He’s dead now though. Two days after I bought his trailer a car fell on him as he was fixing it. I know you’re being careful and you know a ton about mechanics, and odds are slim. So did he, but they’re called “accidents” for a reason. It’s a pain in the butt going that one extra step at times, but it’s worth it. Please reconsider. And no, sadly, I’m not making this up - really wish I were.

Matt -- When impacting the Lug Nuts on @24:45 -- some kind of clip fell from the backside of the Tire/Wheel area . If you slow the video replay speed down to 0.25 , you can clearly see it --- it makes it's first appearance under the Tire in the shadow of the Camera Tripod . ---- < Doc > .

Matt, it always amazes me to after all your hard work getting things put back together, running , and working as it should of been to begin with, that smile:-). Admire the fact that, Like Andrew, you also don't like those crappy wire nuts, and heat sink everything back together, concerning wires. In my option, learned from the best! Looking forward to seeing the new Garage built, and other projects that have been put on hold, actually get finished after that, since you will no longer be out in all the weather.
