1586 Jeff Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 I have a Cobey running gear that has a broken arm on the left hand spindle. This arm presses into the spindle with a nut on the back side. The arm is the attachment point to the spindle for the tie rod. Where could I begin to find such a part? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightninboy Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 A picture of what you need might spark some help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1586 Jeff Posted May 13, 2020 Author Share Posted May 13, 2020 The first picture is the broken left side. The second picture is the unbroken right side. I might try to weld it, but I sure am not “Finney”!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randy hall Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Well Cobey went out of business around forty some years ago. Ask around if any old dealers in your area might have sold them and hava old parts yet. Their wagons didn't have the best reputation. They were in Galion Ohio.

lightninboy Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 You'll probably have to weld it....not that big of a deal...just a little time-consuming..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finney Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Shouldn't be too hard to make a new one. Get a piece of 4140 or 4160. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred B Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 looks like the arm is just welded to a bolt head, just have a welding shop weld to new bolt. make sure parts are freed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like the best idea yet. Maybe this will teach me not to accept someone’s help that is clumsy with a large payloader.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

560Dennis Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 We got a cobey ,had it 60 years , works fine . Sorry I never had a problem with it. Have to look at mine to see if I have the same part in steering. I think the suggested grade 8 bolt and welds will work for you . Maybe little hammer forge to ,you will be back in business Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still use ours for a little ear corn. Running gear is so pathetically wore out its impossible to back up. Been thinking about putting a new"er" 8 ton gear underneath it.

Matt Kirsch Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Right side looks like it was repaired at some time in the past. That looks like a hex headed bolt where the broken left side is a square headed bolt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missouri Mule Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 My bil still runs (3) cobey silage wagons. Hard to find a rear unload smaller wagon and they have had them for years. The one wagon will pass you up going down the road ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why they like them. When we get done we power wash them up good and leave them sit outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
