Courtney,
=A0
Again I don't know where you are in the country but it's a small part so wh=
ere ever you are you could ship what you have to West River Rigging=A0 (htt=
p://www.westriverrigging.com/=A0)
and they could probably make you a new one.=A0 Like I've said they are fair=
and their good.
=A0
Since this is such a one of specific item I don't know of any vendors to av=
oid and I also don't know anything about warrenties etc. on something like =
this.
=A0
Good luck.

Frank,
Thanks once again for the help.
Unfortunately the tip was chewed up. I have a new replacement part cost of =
$400 from a local rigger. Having never bought a spreader I don't know if th=
at's market competitive or if the vendor is critical.
What vendors would you patronize for this item and what would you look for =
to determine if this fix is all it should be ? Is there any warranty or gua=
ranty that should be sought or any vendor to avoid ?
Any caveats regarding the installation ?
Cordially,
Courtney=20

I think that would change the load patterns and could be dangerous.
=A0
I'd find a place that can do aluminum welding and then take it in to them a=

My recently acquired Frers33 has a spreader that was hit by the previous ow=
ner's lawnmower blades while stored in his back yard, which chewed up one e=
nd.
Can this be reliably repaired and if so by whom, and if not where can a lea=
st cost replacement be had ?
Appreciatively,
