[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 23000, member: 82"] A 743 i re-built had the arms cracked, it seemed it broke in half before i got it and was botched when they repaired it. I cut it back in 2 and cut the top out and layed 2 pieces of steel inside and welded them in for a little extra strength. This is where the lift ram meets the welded brace, like an elbow, it seems like a common spot to go. They never actually welded the underside where ALL the pressure is applied. I made sure i used the plasma to gouge the cracks out and re-welded with cellulose rods for high penetration then went over it with a *pretty* rod to give a nice finish, then grind back to look like new. The holes at the end of cracks sure does well! [/QUOTE]
