Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..

Back on my door hinges...
I had noticed some considerable wear on the catch that holds the door open..they were worn bad...so I built them up with weld and just had to guess what they used to look like and ground a new profile on them...I also realized there used to be a roller on the pins....one pin still had a tiny piece of roller jammed under it so it gave me something to go on...I machined a new set from some stainless and reassembled to check fit...the springs arnt on at the moment...still want to work on the roller pockets a little bit..then I'll resandblast em and lay another coat of epoxy on em and I'll call em done...
