Thanks for the advice! From what I can tell, it had a lot of weld already added to it but it still has good rebound. Not to worried about the chip, I still have plenty of room where it is broken off.
Think I’ll follow your advice, it would take a lot of grinding to get it flat front to back. I’ll use it as long as I can after planishing it before trying to weld a new top plate on. Hadn’t thought of using a forklift fork, I’ve got a source for one so I’ll check into that, thanks.
BTW, any idea of what the 1 0 21 stands for? Really appreciate the advice!
