Turret basket being worked on. Some detail pictures of the retainer chains and pins. The one tube was cracked/split with not much holding it. I broke off the tube then bolted hem to the turret bearing race. This ensured everything was lined up. The mating surface was prepped for welding. There was also a pretty bad split in the other tube. The ends of the split were drilled out and the split cleaned up. Everything welded up nicely. Now to get the upper tubes removed from the lower tubes. Currently they are rusted in place.
