OK. Thanks I was able to watch it. Not the sterile operating room setting of some machine shops. Certainly not the "pretty" welds showcased in many videos, the grinding was pretty crude both before and after welding. The realignment wasn't really shown except the drilling & pins but the results are what matters. I'd like to see how it worked out. I have no doubt it was put to use. There are tons of videos showing the extreme uses of trucks & all kinds of heavy equipment in other parts of the world and how they are put back together. I watched one with two barefoot middle East men hot riveting a truck frame back together. Amazing things are done where skillful workers are forced to make do with what is at hand. Necessity is a mother!

The guy that built the engine for the Wright Brother's plane carved it out of hunks of metal.
