Straighten them out with a porta power .Once straight ,weld a cross brace in between the two sides level with the pegs. Use some kind of tube as a cross brace as it will be stronger then angle iron .

Bush hog most abused equipment on farm. 2nd is the front bucket on any tractor. Looks like it will take some effort this time. Mighty fine job.

Hanco I was just wondering the other day when you'd be posting some fab work again. Nice work.

I'd venture a guess you like to weld! Looks stout.

I'd venture a guess you like to weld! Looks stout. I have always liked burning rods. We racked and tacked all of our pipe, not much welded in the jacks. Even though I ran the job, I did a good bit of the welding. We put a stringer and a hot pass. We did very few x-ray type projects. They expect thirty 6” welds in an eight hour day.

Yes. Seems a lot of heavy equipment isn't that heavy anymore. Fine for lawn work, but don't go out into the field.

How much weight do you reckon you added to the bush hog?

This is one of my son in laws bush hog. The 3 point hookup was bent, sides bent in. Deck in front of gear box was rusted out also Looks good and stout! Extra weight and thickness never hurts. You going to paint it? He probably needs to blow the grass off with a leaf blower when done with it. A drilled drain hole or two wouldn't hurt either so it won't hold water on the deck.
