59ih340 · Jun 3, 2006

I have a '59 IH 340,It has a loader frame(unknown make)The round tubing parts of the frame are bent,Stress cracked and have the worst "farmer" welds all over it pieces of rebar, wrenches etc... /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gifpretty much any type of metal you could stick with heat or electricity can be found on this loader frame.The tubes measure about 2-1/4",I have no problem cutting,bending,welding and fabricating,but i really can't seem to to get a straight answer on what type of tubing to use(without breaking the bank).Any ideas?
