Got called last week to fix this.Guy was moving a boulder the size of my rig.Don,t really know what he was doing but it cost him $450 to fix.Had to use 2 1-1/2ton chain come-alongs and a little ingenuity but got it fixed .The D-side arm was on the ground when i arrived and P-side was bent outward slightly also .Plated both arms with 3/8" plates to match.

Nice job. He should be happy with that repair and the price. Anytime I repair anything I like to make it at least as good as it was, or preferably better.

yeah nice looks good, i'l have to let you know when I do something dumb with my 303cr because I don't know any better. You can give me a price to fix it. But really did any other damage happen, such as to the hydraulics of the blade?

I just recently had similar issue, mine i twisted the entire mounting bracket of the hydraulic cylinder of the blade, cab side. Cause of it, pulling a huge stump. :)
