If you look on the opposite side from the hole, that weld is just setting there. I would knife edge bevel the plates, and weld all the way around.

Yeah, see that's one of those tough calls. You make one area strong, then what does it tear up in another area?The box tube is a weak zone in this case. My mind set is, if both welds were at there best, would it have broke? Don't know! But I'm sure if the plates were beveled in the first place the welds would have had a better chance of survival on impact.

Yeah no kidding! Like I said it's a tough call, you need a fuseable link some where. Hopefully in a place that easy to fix, and doesn't cost a lot to do.I'd much rather rip teeth off all day long than have to fix tweaked loader arms.
