Backhoe backhoe bolts

[kiotimiike]

Has anyone welded the support brackets on a kioti backhoe yet. I'm tired of these bolts getting loose and the movement of the backhoe when they are loose . Are these bolted together to save on shipping or is there a structural
reason . If anyone has welded them has there been any implications?

I welded the gusset straps and bolts after tightening them for the 3rd or 4th time. No problems now!

Weld them. That will solve the problem.
