November 15, 201213 yr the bottom die receiver base needs to be built up and re surfaced How did you go about dealing with the lower die receiver? I'm dealing with a similar issue on a kerrihard I'm fixing up.

I fixed that as per Sid Sudimeyer's instructions, that is don't weld it and re surface it, just grind it down (rough in) and get after it with a file....I would still darken the bottom with acetylene from time to time and hit the high spots with a die grinder, then back to the file untill I got it where it needed to be......tedious, but it works. Sid also said that he just puts in spacers below the bottom die to make up the difference (in my case 1/8'')and doesn't weld em or use the indexing pin....He chucks those. I spose if you have deep craters or cracks/breakage more drastic measures will be needed.....mb
