Please help and where can I get one besides dealer and a small fortune
Would really help forum to help you by saying what machine it's on … Make, model, serial number
Take it to a reputable shop and they will weld that back together.
Looks like Case to me. Ductile iron If I'm right. It contains iron & magnesium. Welding isn't going to work.
It is on John Deer 315 sg 2014 sorry and thank you for replys
Even though it’s cast iron they can weld it ?????
Need to know for sure what material it is. Cast iron will hard to impossible to have a lasting repair. If it's cast steel could be welded using preheat and proper techniques.
It's called a link … Depending on the serial number of the machine it could be Notice the substitution ... 12 - Link Part Number AT192121 Supported Models 310SG, 315SG Serial No. ______-953789 Remarks NLA; ORDER AT324622; ALSO ORDER AT482071, T161036, 40M7066
How did it break? did the pin come out on one side? I'd use a bolt through that pin at the least, that clip is not a good idea. Take it to a welder if you can't get a solid answer on what it is. It will either hold or not. Most welders should be able to tell the material and not bother if it won't hold.
I bought a similar piece for my old JD 310 at Farmland Tractor in Tangent, Oregon. They are a wrecking yard for ag and construction equipment. They can be quite proud of their stuff but worth a try.
Try ESI 740-439-5512. They are a backhoe salvage yard. They ship about anything!
Cast Iron is very brittle, or has little ductility. Steel varies in ductility. When you weld anything the process of cooling the hottest portion makes it shrink. This sets up stresses. Steel stretches as it cools, iron less so. Cast iron is porous, lots of contaminants interfere with fusion to weld metal. You can try to have an expert weld it, but you'll save effort finding new, or good used.
