It will crack after 30 years!!

I learned about not welding across tractor frames etc before the 1450 was built.

That is the reason I thought to look for the cracks.

Ditto what SAM MAC said Duke, sorry, no pics!!




I was heard if the frame was cracked you had to part it out.

I think I'm calling on that! Great job getting it welded up CAD! You two are getting as slack as I am.
