Square steel tubing is a 'stock shape' at any steeyard and not expensive.
All you got to do is copy the old one, burn the workiing parts off thev
old axle and weld em on the new tube. It is also possible to get the
next largest size tube that telescopes over the old axle ends, and
splice it at the burn.

I have just acquired my first ET. It is a fixer, stored under cover,
mostly good shape. The batteries are shot and the previous owner
took a torch to the front axle, so that is also shot. I have
decided to fix the front axle before getting some batteries; so here
is my question. The front axle appears to be made from square tube.
Will any large frame front axle work on this ET. Where is the best
place to try to locate one, if not are there drawings of this part
available (somewhere) so I can make one.
