[QUOTE="Colliedog, post: 7841393, member: 4877"] Now the drill was in bits I was able to get in and sort the chassis out. You can see in the photos the coulter carriage has completely cracked away from the main frame. I felt the best plan of action was to re-weld it to the best of my abilities but also add some stress plates to take some of the strain rather than have all of the force trying to twist the only 4”box section the coulters are suspended from. I have had two more plates cut and folded to which I have drilled some extra holes in the main frame and chassis so hopefully these will take a bit of the chassis stress in the future. All the other components were in pretty good condition apart from the wheel rims which had worn on the outer rims. These wheels seem to only come with new tyres and are very expensive so I repaired the originals by rolling 8mm rod into rings and welding them to the outside of the rims.
