During a gear inspection I found that the weld on flange on the left Upper Leg Link #7707 for the main gear (which attaches the Link to the upper leg attachment 7703) is cracked.
I can pull it out and possibly have it welded but would rather replace it with a new upper Leg Link part #7707. Does anyone know where I might find the 7707 part, or who may build one for me.
Dave, I own a machine/fab.

Dave, I own a machine/fab. shop, If it was me I would add a sleeve gusset that extends 3" at the shortest length to a 45 deg. cut. Longest side of the cut on the extension loaded side You did not supply your part so hard to see if the flange has to be replaced or if it is the tube that cracked. In any case a fixture needs to be made for correct alignment and new flange if that is what failed. I could do it for you if needed. Making whole part new would be costly and not as strong with the added sleeve.
Thanks, I got the part from
