if i were to fix this frame, i would cut some 1/4'' plate to fit the inside of the frame. clean up the crack and bevel the edges. then jack up the tractor to relieve any downward stress that could be pulling the frame apart. weld the crack then heat to relieve the stress. now take your plate and place it on the inside of the frame and drill 4 holes into the plate only. 2 on each side of the crack. weld the plate to the frame including the 4 holes. then heat it all up again. might be over kill for these cubs but that how i like to do things.
