[QUOTE="HanSolo, post: 62249, member: 7905"] Update - Last weekend I had a buddy weld the crack under the right hand boom up. He did a great job and I'm confident that will hold for a long time. I did notice some smaller cracks where the diagonal cross-section at the end of the boom joins. Those certainly could be caused by uneven stress (prying a stump with the corner of the bucket for example). Those cracks are very small but I'm thinking I'll address them when I replace the tilt hoses on both sides which are pretty toasty. Access to those areas will be much better with those hoses off. The only other issues to report is the carb began seeping fuel after running the machine hard for several hours. I found the four screws holding the bowl on were loose so hopefully tightening those will solve that issue. I'd like to rebuild the carb but one of the bolts securing it to the intake manifold is pretty frozen. I'd have to cut off the muffler to get to it and I know that OEM muffler doesn't exist anymore.
