B7100 Cracked Lift Arm

[M3Stevie]

Good Day:

While dragging some piles of dirt left over from a recent project I just cracked the right side (looking forward) lifting arm on my B7100.

Does anyone have one laying around that they'd like to part with or any suggestions?

Get it welded or buy a new one.

Yea those arms are very very hard to get!
You won't find it new, and used is about impossible

Looking at the rust mark, it was cracked for a while, usually caused by not using check chains to lessen side to side stress on the lift arms, would have been easier to weld it before it broke.

Take it to someone with knowledge on how to weld cast!

I don't wonder if he's not better off getting a good fabricator to make a new one of steel bar stock. Would be similar to making a solid swing arm for a rockcrawler or Trophy truck.

Thanks for the replies. I managed to find a used one and hope to have it by the end of the week.
