[QUOTE="muddybuddy, post: 23059, member: 2462"] Welded it up yesterday - almost a full day of welding. It was worse than appeared. Also found a crack where the hydraulic ram attaches to the arm. Actually it is probably better that I welded it rather than their shop - because now I know it was done right. It did not appear to be just normal wear and tear, I am sure that there was some kind of accident. I talked to a service department at another dealer and he had not seen any S185 arm damage at that location. I also talked to the dealer I bought the machine from and he said if I would have found the damage the day after I bought it they would have fixed it. He assured me he would not have sold me a machine with known damage. I asked about the inspection that was said to have taken place and he stated it is not a certifierd or guaranteed inpection. He said if he could make it up to me in any way in the future he would. Anyway I took my lumps and now will move on - chalk one up to lesson learned. Thanks to all who replied to my post. [/QUOTE]
