Yeah, I'm somewhere out here.................
With all the mechanical genii coming up, I'm sure we can get it repaired.
You will need to drill out the broken end, tap and helicoil the head. If
you don't feel comfortable doing that on your own, truck it on up Saturday
and we'll get it going for you. We won't even snicker about bringing it up
in a truck.
Looking forward to meeting you.
