Decided this time I would try the magic rods I bought to fix the CAT loader and see if they last any longer than the 7014 I likely used last time. Not much room to work due to the design and it has to be ground down to fit so I can't add reinforcement. Good news is that this is the only one I've broke so I'll have to grab a couple new ones for spares. Pretty blue rods go well with the Dialarc.

Snug fit but a little persuasion from the BFH got me back in business.... holding good so far...

I guess I never noticed, but do you own a milling machine and lathe? Be a fast fix to just make another pin (unless you happen to be me, and insist on making it to ISO 9001 standards, which would get it back in the field sometime in 2025 at my pace)
