There is always a way to fix or repair something,but sometimes you have to get a little creative like this.You can employ the same concept to straighten all sorts of things.I just did the same thing the other day except I used my mini excavator in place of the ratcheting load binder to straighten the top rail of a boat rack on a friends utility trailer.I cvould have used all sorts of things the excavator just happened to be handy...glad to see your posting again!
NICE! The chain force was 90% to the front and only slightly downward. You persuader took care of the vertical bend. If you needed more, a vertical chain would have helped.
That’s a ratcheting chain binder that I got a Northern Tool. It’s normally used to tie down heavy loads on big trucks. I have four of them that I use to tie down my tractor to the trailer in the video. It will only draw about 10” but it can pull really hard.
Exact same damage and simple quick fix ideas I was lookin for 👌👌👌🍻🍻🍻

Great video!
Cool.
i didn't know a gentle tap would be enough if tension was applied.
Useful.

another great video !
@BuhlzI I have put about 20 hours on the Ranger since the repair and it seems to run and steer normally.
Thanks.
@JonesDieselPerforman Thanks.
Anyone out there hit hard enough to move the frame back and successfully stretched it back? Or cut and replace a section…?
What kind of hand winch is that, I need to buy one asasp
