Patience and gentle correction. Depends on where the sprung area is, go slow, might use shims to push against at proper place.HTH Tracy

Those doors oftentimes crack just above the door latch area. A horizonal crack that connects to the vertical structure that goes to the front/top of the door frame. I've welded/braced many over the years.

i just worked on a big Case cab that they had the door open and hit a tree while mowing.. Bent the door about 10 inches out... I took the door off and cut the weld and rewelded the area like Dr mentioned.. Thought it was close.... Took the door back and it was about 3 inches off at the top... Mounted the door, put a 2 x 4 between the door and frame at the latch and used a small comealong on the TOP of the door, thru the cab, to the opposite side frame.. winched it a couple times until it fit the latch pretty good.. They actually popped the top window out when it hit the tree..

I’ve seen a Buddy twist car doors back using a block of wood as a wegde. He told me always try to reverse the twist the way it got twisted. He said he straightens frames the same way. He pulls it out the way it went in.
