[QUOTE="MrNoo, post: 7551052, member: 2767"] Be fairly easy to repair, a lot of these parts are compressed composites and as mentioned I would use some laminating epoxy, grind it out 10:1 (10mm out for every 1mm of depth) then build up with layers of 2x2 twill untill you get the deired thickness, obviously as you put more layers in the width will increase so you need to cut them to fit and keep the "stack" in order. Let it cure off, sand fill if needed, prime and paint. The trick is making sure you grind it out correctly, on some parts I take it out at 15:1 much like the old wood scarf joints, repaired properly and if you try and break it again it wont break at the repair, it'll break elsewhere. Epoxy will cure off faster with a little heat and you can post cure but that's all a bit too advanced for a tractor me thinks! [/QUOTE]
