On both sides of the tractor. Don't know if PO had broken it in the past and welded up, or had to shorten tubes if it came off a different tractor? Either way, I V-notched the busted tube and welded the broken side up, and bent and welded some plates over the weak spots on both sides. Shouldn't have that problem again. And the main man had to help me pull out silt fence posts over the weekend, and that little loader pulls posts better than I do.
