I took it appart to replace a broken drive motor and found the frame was twisted and there were a few broken welds.

I cleaned and rebuilt the gearbox for the spinning disk.

I welded up a few of the broken welds and braced the frame a little more. I also tilted the disk down at the front a little, Then I had to reposition the gearbox so the belt pulleys were inline. Then I gave it a quick coat of black primer with a big old paint brush. Not quite as good as my other paint jobs with the airbrush eh?[attachment=0:1ktcr3xu]P17-08-09_09.57.JPG[/attachment:1ktcr3xu]
