What happens here

During snow removal operations, one of the truck-mounted plows experiences a breakdown where a short iron frame bolt (specifically, a large bolt connecting the plow frame to the truck's chassis) shears off. The crew inspects the damage, noting that a single bolt likely failed due to stress, possibly after another had previously been lost, leading to increased load on the remaining bolt. This necessitates a temporary field repair.

Goal: Diagnose and prepare for repair of a sheared plow frame bolt.
