Hi Norm,
That Ariens was missing one rear side and also missing an engine when I found it and that's the gear your after. I basically just picked it up for the plastic side shoot as the other Ariens I have was missing the shoot.
Yes the Deutschers work well ,I've seen lots of cheap 10 to 12 ton benders even a free one ,but would of had to drive for
about 4 hours to pick the bender up so didn't bother ,I can borrow one but it's missing the 2 rollers ,I've made winch rollers
up before so they should be easy to make.
Cheers
Max.
