Ok, posted a few days ago about some metal hammer peening on the top driver frame rail from a loose cab bracket. Got some great ideas to fix it. Thanks to those who contributed. This is kind of a continuation of the same issue. Once i cleared the scale and rust from the area i exposed some bolt holes that have been pulled into the frame. The two lower bolts holes are from the clutch and brake pedal assembly and the big dent at the top is from the shaft for the pedals. I have know idea how the frame could see that much force from those pedals even if the bracket was loose (it wasnt when i removed it).
At any rate Inwas wondering if anybody else had seen this on their one tons or other?
I am thinking about drawing the dents out by placing a large grade 8 bolt and washers behind the frame, through the frame and a piece of half inch plate on the outside surface and use a big impact to draw the dent out and do i preheat the area or not? Thoughts and comments appreciated.
