Upside is the no one was hurt and they are only things.
I have 10 of the BatteryMinder brand from Northern Tool. I keep them on all my batteries for months. Never had a problem. Doesn't mean I can't walk out to the barn see one blown up.
Worst I ever had was a cell that popped on one of the...
I was hoping to bring the 915 this year but I seem to have a starting issue that looks like it is the solenoid or starter. It starts almost all the time but it is mocking the heck out of me. I bought new batteries and put the wrenches on the step to swap them and thought why not try it again...
I understand your wanting to fix it. Heck, I'm trying to get the clicks for the cover which may turn out to be easier than iI thought.
I looked at the pics and my recommendation may be based on being able to see what damage you are talking about. I based it on the outward ripples on the side...

About the tongue, here is a pic of my M1102 I just got last month. Obviously my other pintle is still...
I sold one to a coworker for hauling firewood and he has loaded it so full the rubber bumpers underneath touched the frame. BTW i'm guessing it was well over 3klbs.
M101A2 has a General Motors 8-bolt pattern. The A1 has the M37 5-bolt.
Easier to get spares for the A2. I just went to a junkyard up the stree and got a wheel and tire for mine. Like $35.
