Yes, yes... I was working to make due with what I had available, and as often happens at those times, the 'specs' of the machine rebel. Its my fault, I was using my drag blade, and the blade dropped deeper into a ditch than I intended, just as my front wheels dropped over the bank of a road (grading across a road to clean up edges). All the forces decided to find a weak point, and thankfully, this was it. I have learned this lesson, but I'm sure there are many more on the list.
I recognize it will never be back to original, but can it be fixed to a point that you think I can count on it to not leave me stranded for another day? I know I can always do something stupid and break it again, but if 'used as intended' would you give it a go, given the chance of losing a day or two's work, in the future, if it fails?
The 'failure hole' isn't used. It sits at the very edge of the 'tractor connection' which is where the leverage was applied. I posted this in another forum, and folks there thought it would be worthwhile. But I hoped I could get a few 'welder' opinions on how well this would work.
Dimensions are 1-1/4 x 2-1/2 x 22-3/4"
