I cracked mine on an early (03 model) TB53FR. I cant remember if it was in that same spot. They changed the design after that, and I have had three additional TB153FR's and never had a problem.
Wow, you got it fixed up?!
Thought it was near impossible to weld cast breaks, and have them hold. Or is that cold rolled steel?
If the latter, I would see about beefing it up if clearance allows it.
Sweet. That must be a relief.
It was air arc gouged then re-welded so there isn't really anything different to the factory weld except it was done correctly this time. I'm painting it tonight and fitting it in the morning so I'll let you know how it goes.
