Kingpin casing cracked

[remoheadsam]

I have a 50hp 1988.......507F8D.......1147.

with the help from 2 guys on the forum I managed to free the kingpin, I put 2 new grease nipples in put it all back together ok. as I squeezed the grease gun, grease came out of a hairline crack...... looks like I need a new casing, does anyone know where I could get one.....the only problem is I am in the uk, and a couple of places on the net don't post from the USA...

thanks Sam

Re: Kingpin casing cracked

Take it to a good welder and have him take a look at it. You would be surprised at what can be repaired today.
