    "tilting" tub, fixable?

    I recently picked up a tracked 2007 maxiv. Its my first one and other than minor things i've had to repair, there is one glaring problem. When looking at the max from the front, it leans downward in the front on the drivers side. Just that corner. Is this fixable? If so, what process do i need to follow to fix it? If not, how much is a tub and where would i find one?

    You have a few options depending on how bad the sag/bend is. You can put some wood under the lip around that corner and use a jack to raise it off the ground a little. If it's not real bad, you can do that outside in the sun on a hot day and leave it like that overnight and it may work itself out. Otherwise, use a small propane torch to heat the area up. Then do the same thing by jacking that corner up in the air. Just make sure you let it cool overnight, otherwise, it will go back to where it was.

    Torch or a heat gun. If you cant get it perfect I wouldnt worry about it long as it dont leak. A new tub will probably be pricey
