View attachment 303002 cat, there is a crack in the ear on this yoke and I don't have a better one. jus saw it, would you run it?

The pic is kinda blurry Slayer. Where is the crack located on that flange?

 

[jrcat]

Those yokes are steel. I would just groove out the crack bolt up a u joint to it and weld up the crack. The u joint will keep it from pulling.

to the outside of the bolt hole. like the retainment ear is gonna break off. this seems to be a problem with these, have 3 with all the ears broke off. see all the load is on the bolts without the ears.
