Also here is a picture showing where that part goes. That part holds a bearing in place for the rotating gear that turns the arm of the boom.

Isn't there a huge crack in the casting shown in the photo?

That lift is junk and needs to be taken to a recycler before it kills someone.

Well don't take the Lord up in that bucket truck with you. Others need him too.

I've owned three buckets and have spent well over 1,000 hours flying them.

Take my advice and trash that pile of junk.

Maybe after the sun comes up you will get the advice you seek. Good luck.

Have you considered the possibility that the Lord is speaking to you through me?

Obviously I came to the wrong website for help.

Be patient.

It takes time to get good answers.

My words stand.

Maybe some numbers for your boom mechanism will help some track down drawings or advice other than salvaging it.
On a side note, do those units require re-certification?

The sale is finished, but this is a lot of truck for the money

Good
advice on this one, the amount of work needed to make this safe and useable does not warrant the expense in $ and time. Cut yer losses!
