I gather these long spade mounts (7" end to end) aren't supposed to rotate even though they appear to be designed with a pressed-on fit.....instead of being welded. See photo in next post. A working original would be nice but I'd bet they are very hard to find....and if you do....probably worn and/or rusted like mine.
It appears I have 2 choices. But a new reproduction from Maxwell or weld mine so it doesn't rotate. I assume the Maxwell piece is fully welded? Anyone had any issues with the Maxwell spade fitting into a vintage Slingerland diamond plate? Has anyone tried welding on the old mount top or base?
Comments appreciated.
