I’ve had my old pond hopper about 7 years now and she’s seen some things. Between running over a few logs, stumps, rocks, and I think Jimmy Hoffa’s body in the river my swivel bracket is about toast. Literally cracked and breaking apart, and I’m lucky my motor isn’t on the bottom of pool 2 right now. Any good recommendations for a handy mechanic in the east metro, south metro, or even southern MN would be appreciated. I found the new part for $135 on the internet, but don’t have the time/space to do it myself. Thanks for any referrals, will try to post a pic from my cell later.
Was thinking about a possible weld since I know a guy who’s good, but guessing total replacement might be best in this situation.
